Owl post

  

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a lovely vintage card that I have created for this months challenge over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges  The theme is 'Owls'. 

I have used this beautiful sepia paper from Digital Curio. The wood grain paper is from my own stash. 

I have also used a Perpetual calendar label from Musings by Nikki. 

To finish my card, I have used this wonderful vintage owl image from Pinterest. The Halloween Journal label is from Shop Moon Steam Studio over on Etsy. 

Hope that you will join in with the challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

The Owls serenade

 

A wise old owl sat in an oak,

The more he heard, the less he spoke

The less he spoke, the more he heard,

why aren't we all like that wise old bird?

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a vintage owl card that I have created. 

I have used these beautiful papers from Pink Monarch Prints and this lovely vintage Owl advertisement from Pinterest. 

To make my card, I have used some Kraft cardstock along with the Christmas junk journal papers. I have distressed all edges with Vintage Photo distress ink. Next, I tore some corrugated cardboard and adhered it to the left side of my card.

Here I have designed my own vintage library card. This is a fun way to personalise some ephemera. 

Next, I adhered this beautiful red poinsettia along with red glitter stamens and some twine, which I wrapped around the owl image. I also added two feather die cuts from kraft cardstock. 

Thank you so much for stopping by the Den! See you on the next post!

Snail Mail- glassine bags

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing some faux glassine bags that I have made. I was inspired by the talented Splattered Inky on Instagram. 

I have used tracing paper to create the glassine bags, some vintage book and dictionary pages (which I picked up from a local thrift store) and some music sheets. 

I fussy cut some vintage owl images, which I adhered to the bags. Everything has been distressed with Vintage photo distress ink. Next, I adhered some antique postage stamps. Finally, I stamped a clear postal stamp using Black soot distress ink. 

Thanks so much for visiting the Fairy Den!

Those who fly solo, have the strongest wings

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! There's a brand new challenge over at TTCRD. Our wonderful sponsor is Morgan's Artworld and there is a fabulous prize of 3 digi images to be won! Here is some more info on them:

For my DT creation I have used this beautiful digital Owl stamp from Morgan's artworld, which I coloured with Faber Castel colouring pencils. 

I have used these beautiful papers from my own stash and adhered them on to Kraft card stock measured at 5.5 inches x 3 inches. I have distressed all layers with a distressing tool and Ground Espresso distress oxide. Next, I adhered the Owl image. 

Here I have used a pine cone die and the Tim Holtz Holiday greens mini thinlits cut from Kraft card stock. 

Finally, I printed out this sentiment 'Those who fly solo, have the strongest wings' and adhered them to my tag. Thanks so much for stopping by. 

Hugs, Zowie xx

I have loved the stars too fondly...

Hello lovely friends, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creation for the Crafts Dreamy anything goes challenge. 

Here I have created an altered envelope. I wanted to make something completely different this time! I have used the beautiful Great Horned Owl digital stamp set from our proud sponsors:

To start, I took a small brown paper envelope and adhered these beautiful papers onto the front. I have also distressed the edges with Walnut Stain Distress ink. 

These gorgeous coffee toned papers are from Manu design studio over on Etsy.

I also added this wooden texture designer paper from  ClaireTale.

Once all layers had been adhered on to the front of the envelope, I then used a star layering stencil along with Decoart Media modelling paste. 

Here is a close up photo of this delightful pre-coloured Horned Owl digital stamp. 

Here is a video on my Youtube channel. 

Next, I fussy cut the quote stamp that came in the same digital set and inked the edges using Walnut stain distress ink. 

To finish my project, I added the pre-coloured leaf digital stamp. Thanks so much for stopping by. See you on the next post, hugs Zowie xx
