Ravens

I used my final "unused" stamp that I purchased in New York (Raven Trail) to make the following card. I again stuck to the aqua and chocolate theme by using some "Prairie" themed Kaisercraft paper as well as some complementary aqua cardstock.

Square Card with a twist

I had purchased a set of square white cards that had a third panel (two folds). I thought I would do something different and folded each of the outer two flaps on the diagonal so that they together would form the front flap and would open to reveal the inside (middle flap). I then cut two triangles of stripey paper and attached them to the card before attaching a ribbon to hold the card shut. I then stuck a red (and yellow) coloured stamp of an owl onto one of the flaps. I finished off the card with a few clear orange raised stickers and a flower.

Panel Card

I really like the panel design of a card that I made a couple of months ago (see here) and so I decided to make another one but in an aqua and brown theme from Kaisercraft's "Prairie" theme. I finished off the card with a Kaisercraft flower and a chocolate brad in the center of the flower.

A little bird told me...

While in New York, I purchased four new stamps and managed to use two of them in the following card. I coloured the stamp with copics and finished it off with a little glitter in the center of the flower and a simple white ribbon. The card is small and is on A6 paper (A5 folded in half).

Copic Owls

Today I made a card with my new owl stamp and copic pens. The owl stamp has 7 owls on it, but I chose to only ink up 4 owls. I stamped them on to some wheat coloured card and also on some white card. I then coloured the white ones in using the copic pens and then cut them out and pop-dotted them onto the wheat stamped owls. I finished off the card with some striped card and a flower from Kaisercraft.
