Here is what I used for my samples today!

Owls and a full moon just seem to go together! I stamped all my owls and branch from Who Loves You? in Memento Tuxedo Black on my MISTI, keeping them in place, colored with Copics then over-stamped with Ranger Jet Black to make them PoP! I like Tuxedo Black to color and the Jet Black is an intense black, so it really makes the color show up better. (the branch was stamped the same only I wiped off most of the ink from the leaves and stamped again inking the leaves only with Distress Crushed Olive)

The Owl Family die cuts them out perfectly!

I sponged Distress Weathered Wood over a piece of the ODBD Rustic Beauty Collection, and added the Happy Birthday die cut.

and the inside…

and my second sample

I love this Flourished Vine die! Again, stamped and colored the same and die cut. This time I layered two Thinking of You for a shadow effect. Paper is ODBD Shabby Rose Collection and also ODBD Ovals and Stitched Ovals dies.

Robin Clendenning said...: Love your beautiful blend of colors on the owls for your first card and the paper is perfect for them! Your second card is so adorable with the pinks and that great flourish! I should have gotten that for sure...Not quite familiar enough with North Coast to know just what I can use or how much I can get...
