A little birdie told me with Pink Gem Designs

Hello everyone - wishing you a wonderful Friday...and a great weekend ahead.

It's been a strange few weeks here on the Olive Farm and I'm feeling exhausted - more siestas, reading and crafting is needed I think to get my energy levels back. 

You all know how much I love Owls - I have done for as long as I can remember, probably from my first encounters with Winnie the Pooh when I was very young - I still listen to Winnie the Pooh Audio books even now, when I'm having trouble sleeping.  

When I saw this new set of digital stamps I knew exactly how I was going to use them to create todays card which is featuring one of the Owls from the Busy Owls digital stamps by Pink Gem Designs. There are 7 stamps in the set, 6 owls and a really useful branch with leaves.

My Owl is called Oliver and he's very engrossed reading an adventure story all about Owls - I hope he doesn't fall asleep and then tumble off his perch !


I resized the Owl and branch to suit an A6 card and then coloured the image using my promarkers (see below) before fussy cutting out.  I used some small rub on letters from my stash to create the book title.... you could easily add this using graphics/drawing software before printing.

To create my leafy background i have used a distress ink and a new to me stencil from Polkadoodles.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project.


Hasta luego ๐Ÿ‘‹ 


Enjoy the rest of your day !
