Owl Broach and some Cards

I made this owl as a broach to go on a bag, or coat (using copper and brass). Its ears a touch spiky though! He is kinda cute though, and fairly easy to make. Inspired by some owls from Craftwork Cards.


This card uses some really cute stamps from Stampin Up. A fab set that also comes with some little houses.

The next card was inspired by one made by Ashley Newell, shown on Nicole Heady's blog here. I'm really pleased with how this turned out - love the colour combo, and it makes a great 'man card' - I can see variations of this being used for the next couple of male birthdays.

A couple of cards I made for 'just in case' the boys needed to send a valentines to someone at school. Callum ummed about it, and decided not. James said not right at the beginning. So, they've just gone into the card box.

And finally, really I was just fiddling with an idea for teacher cards - an apple die cut (sizzix) from felt, and words printed from the pc.

This is a card I made for my dad's birthday - I needed to make it in a bit of a rush to catch the post, but I was pleased with the result. Scribble Scrabble papers (my fab qvc bargin when they had it priced wrongly, so only cost £3 something for 18(?)papers, and only 48p postage.



And a card I made from SU card in sage shadow, choc chip and choc chip ribbon. Stamp I think is anitas, and the inspiration came from PTI - friends to the end set and the design ideas for that set (which I'd love, but will have to make do with my anitas stamp for now). No-one in mind, just playing. My mothers day cards that hub and I sent were roughly the same as this, but in an amazing raspberry pink card from pti, and looked great.

And finally a bit of jewellery that I finished on Tue eve at my class. I just need to hallmark it now. But wasn't too difficult to make, and I love it. My current fav necklace. The textured bit is domed to add dimension. I think I'll try and do something similar and make some earrings to match.
