I’m just loving Paperartsy Kate Crane’s new release and the Owl is so cute.

I’ve made just a simple, easy card this time for you, that you can ‘whip up’ when time is limited.

For the background I masked off a piece of white card and spritzed the contained area first with water, then with Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress Spray Stains. I dried this and then laid Kate’s circle and cross stencil on top and sprayed with the same colours again. Once almost dry, I lifted the stencil off and then let it dry completely.

When I started removing the masking tape, I noticed some of the colour had bled a little under the tape. Oops! Oh well! I simply cut this out to layer up later on.

Next, I stamped the Owl and 2 sets of the leaves with Jet Black Archival Ink, and then coloured these with Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils. I then fussy cut these out.

After that it was just a matter of layering everything up onto my base card.

To finish I added the sentiment ‘take flight’ that was stamped onto book paper and layered onto black card.

To complete the look, I added some Glossy Accents to the eyes and some Stickles to select areas on the Owl and leaves. I also drew a’faux stitch line’ on the white border.
