Happy Friday from Hootie with Patties Creations

Happy Friday everyone I hope that you are all well and have had a lovely week. 

It's our Easter celebrations here and today so were off on a walk organised by the town walking group, we have done it every Good Friday for the last 5 years and its a lovely walk specially when there are lots of people to support it.  The walk finishes off in the Carpa - its a big marquis that is set up for a Food and crafts fair called Hecho en Las Alpujarras.  Its a great opportunity to try out different artisan foods and always well supported.

Today also marks the start of a new Challenge for March over on the Pattie's Creations Design Challenge blog 

The challenge runs from the first Friday of the month and its an Anything Goes challenge as long as you use a digital or stamped image in your project,  so why not join in the challenge - Winners of the challenge will receive 2 digital stamps of your choice from Pattie's shop.

Pattie has some wonderful digital stamps in her Etsy Shop pattiescreations and there is also a freebie every month on the blog that you can use in your project if you want to!

For my April project, I decided to use the Owl on Branch digital stamp called Hootie ....you know I'm rather fond of owls and this one is lovely.

I've created an aperture card today, adding some lovely leafy paper to a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" panel before cutting out an aperture with one of my nesting circle dies.

Before adding the leafy panel to my card base I've used some distress ink and a cloud stencil to add some clouds to my card base behind the aperture and then mounted this panel using craft foam.

Hootie has been printed on alcohol friendly card stock and coloured with my Promarkers (see below for the colours), before being fussy cut out and adhered across the aperture.

I stamped a sentiment onto the leaf panel and then added some coordinating sequins around the design and glossy accents to the owls eyes.

I do hope that you like my card for today and don't forget to join in with this months challenge over on the blog.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
