Happy Anniversary...

Ahh not two love birds, but two owls madly in love! This is another of the stamps from the Hoot collection by Joanna Sheen. How sweet are they? Sorry about the reflection on the acetate - it's not a monster creeping up on the pair it's my fingers holding the camera!

Quite hard to describe this card in words so maybe I ought to let the pictures tell the story rather than me ramble on for ages.

The owls were coloured with Promarkers and then cut out and attached to acetate which I then fastened behind a heart shaped apperture cut in a brown Papermania scalloped edge square card.

I cut a matching apperture in spare card and attached this to the rear of the apperture so that there would be a neat finish inside.

The background for the owls is one of the sheets from Joanna Sheen's Hoot backing paper pad. I thought it would be something different to have the owls in a clear heart shaped space but with a scene behind them too forming the front of the card.

My card is for the challenge at Stamp with Fun where the theme is clear foil (acetate?) and also for the challenge 'Celebrate' at Creative Card Crew Challenges and the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge

Hello Ann. Another beautiful card from you. Such a lot of hard work has gone into it and, as usual, perfection.

After spilling glue over two cards yesterday I feel like giving up. I think I will give the cards a rest and as it is such a beautiful day will go and potter in the garden. Have already been out shopping so don't feel guilty at not doing much.

love

Oh Ann - the more I see these owls the more I think I must have some. Haven't seen a show with them on so have to rely on your examples - and lovely they are too.

Love this Ann - and I think your fingers add a 'certain something'! (It actually reminds me of a couple of pictures we bought a couple of years ago and haven't got put up yet)
