I'm actually running a little short of acetate so decided to do half an acetate card for a change. After practicing on some spare bits I bravely stamped the swirl directly on to the acetate using Stazon. Wow, you should have heard the shout of joy when it didn't slip, slide or smudge!
Then I stamped the owl on card, coloured with Promarkers, cut out and attached to the acetate above the swirl. I also stamped and cut out an orange owl to attach to the back to give a neat finish.

The leaf border was punched using a Fiskars border punch that I've had for ages. Organza ribbon, pearls and gold peel offs complete the card.

This is my second card using a stamp from the Kanban Autumn set. Just a small anytime card to send to a friend - a good friend - check out how many pearls there are on it!
The tree was stamped using a Brilliance ink pad and when dry the leaves were touched up with a Sakura Stardust pen for a little more oomph. The gold frame is something I'm particularly smug about because it is actually made from the bit that's left when you cut a scalloped circle using a Nellie Snellen die. I'm ashamed to say that I normally throw the bits left from cutting out with Nesties, but I just thought this was too pretty to throw away. The Nellie Snellen die was one of my many Mother's Day treats. I am so lucky.
Oh no - disaster I don't think this card goes with a single challenge - good job I had fun making it!!
Anyway must dash as today I start work at 10.00 am and don't finish until tomorrow morning. Oh poor me! However, hopefully there will be lots of lovely comments to read when I get home. Have a good couple of days everyone and see you on Friday for the new challenge at Bah! Humbug! This week Irene chose the theme - hmmmmmm that's quite a big clue as to what it will be. I wonder if anyone will guess!

I've obviously missed a lot lately, particularly about these Kanban stamps. They look terrific and this little owl is gorgeous. Can you point me in the direction of somewhere I could get a look at them please Ann.

Oh Ann I do love your tree with the "leftover" frame. It looks great and definitely not like a leftover bit so you have every right to feel smug. I am mean as I never throw any bits away "just in case" and usually end up with a bag of mixed bits.
Might be tempted to buy the tree stamps if my stamping was better. At the moment having card makers block so nothing has been made.
Time for bed. Hope you are not too worn out with your long shift at work.
