Friends of a feather HOOT together!!

Squeezed in a card for the weekly MFT sketch challenge. Used a set I have had for a while (New Year's resolution.... to use the "treasures" I have bought!!) Also, used colors from the Play Date Cafe Color Challenge-113...Juniper, Mint, Vanilla.


My sis (two sis's and a niece) and I did a bunch of hooting together over the holidays!! Tried the "out of the box" nesties tutorial... maybe I should've picked an easier stamp or maybe I just need a little practice-- but, these little owls have been in my stash for a while and needed to see some ink. Colored with copics and popped on circle nesties. Papers are from Memory Box. Added some twill and a few Kaisercraft pearls along with some stitching/distressing.

Well done with the out of the box technique. The owls are darling and you have used the sketch wonderfully :)

Vickie, this is the SWEETEST image of birds and bluebells! And what a perfect way to use our challenge colors this week, too. You've done some purty coloring!

Thanks for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe, and Happy New Year!
