Today I have a guest designer for you, or should I say guest designers. The teacher of one of my twins will be starting her maternity leave straight after the Easter holidays so her last day at school was Friday. As a surprise from her class I got the children to make this. (I apologise for the dodgy photos but the glass front made it difficult)
So to start with I took a piece of pale blue A4 card and printed the words onto it, then cut each set of words down to size. Next I took a piece of 12x12 white card and drew three wiggly lines on it. I added to small lines at each end to give it a twiggy look, I stuck the pieces of blue card to each end.
Then came the good bit, each child choose a colour and used their thumb and forefinger to create a head and body. I then wrote the child's name underneath before I forgot (heehee!) I left the whole thing to dry before using a black pen to give each owl a beak, eyes and wings. As you can see I had to get a little creative with the few owls that seem to be wandering off.
I bought a 12x12 box frame from Wilkinsons (as it was the only one I could find) but I took the square of wood out to put the picture in before putting it back to stop the picture slipping.

From owl of us
This is a birthday card for my Aunt who like me is quiet fond of the odd owl or two. This is another stamp from the Woodware's Perfectly Clear range.
I really like this stamp but as the Mother of twins it was missing a vital element, originally it was a Mummy, Daddy and one baby. So I stamped the image three times so I could decoupage the image.
I coloured in the images using Spectrum Noir pens using the following colours:
JG1, JG2, PL2, PL3,
TN1, TN2, TN3, TN4, TN5
CT3, LY3
The first layer was the three original owls, the next one I cut out the Mummy and baby, with the third image I only cut out the baby. I added the second baby to the image in front of the Daddy owl.
I used the Marianne die Anja Squares to cut the fancy shape around the image as well as the background square.
Finally I added the greeting from the same stamp set.
