#512 Feathered Friends at Allsorts challenge

This week at Allsorts challenge Ellie has chosen the theme of Feathered Friends. I was recently lucky enough to win a set of Hobbyart stamps from one of the Papercraft magazines and these stamps are in the set. 

I first stamped the owl and embossed in black powder. Then masking the owl I used the fern stamps and heat embossed with clear powder to form a resist. Then I inked over them to create a background using Crafters companion inks in three shades of green. I used a paintbrush to faux bleach over the design. 

I coloured the owl and branch with water and distress inks. The base card I randomly stamped with the ferns. I also made this bookmark to complement the card and for the greeting. I didn't put a greeting on the front of the card in case the recipient wants to frame it.

The winner this week drawn by random generator will receive this lovely stamp.
