Waltzing Mouse Blog Party



Hi Scrappers,

It's blog party time at Waltzingmouse Stamps again. This months theme is felt/cozy fabrics. Now, let me tell you, felt and I don't really have a good relationship so it took me forever to think of something to do for this challenge! I tried felt flowers which I liked but didn't look right with what I was stamping. In the end, I made a little owl out of some suede-like paper I've had for about 5 years and some small scraps of felt. I made the owl using the Labels 4 Nesties and then stamped the owl's belly with the Very Vintage Labels set. The 'branch' is part of the same set and I made the 'leaves' from the Fancy Phrases set:



It's a bit quirkier than my normal cards - always good to get out of your comfort zone isn't it?
Can't wait to see what everyone else has done!

Thanks for stopping by,

Claire x

  2. Oh my Claire...this owl is incredible. I would have never seen all those layers from a pile of nestabilities. The googly eyes are a great touch. Incredible design.
