Happy Owl-o-ween

Well Hello all,

My poor neglected blog! I didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted. YIKES! Sept and Oct have been very busy for me with lots of time away from home. Work travels, personal travels and just  plain too busy to get any stamping in. Hopefully, I'll be posting more regularly in the coming weeks (although now that I think about it, I will be gone again week after next).

Anyhoo, I have a Halloween card to share today. I used the current Sweet Sunday Sketch for the layout and papers from the TE Halloween Project Pantry kit to go along with the cute Owl-o-ween stamp set from Taylored Expressions.

The owls are colored with Copics and cut out with the matching dies. I popped them up onto the branch with dimensionals. I cut the fence out twice, once with the patterned papers and once with black and pasted the patterned one slightly askew over the solid one to look like a shadow. After stamping the bats with gray ink, I added some black Stickles lightly over them. Yellow Stickles are added to the owl's eyes. The panels are stitched up with black thread.

Supplies
Stamps: Owl-o-ween set by Taylored Expressions
Paper: TE card stocks and Doodlebug Halloween Parade patterned papers
Ink: Memento tuxedo black, SU Smoky Slate and Copics
Other: TE fence die, TE Owl-o-ween dies, TE Spiderweb boarder die, Stickles, sewing machine, the Big Shot, and dimensionals

Here are the Copics that I used:

That's it for now. Thanks for looking in,
Colleen
