Halloween and Christmas

Hello and welcome.  Today we have a new challenge over at Catch The Bug and the theme for this week is Anything Goes.  For my project, I am using a new to me Bugaboo digi called Halloween Christmas Owl Trio.  Now isn't this so true?  The stores already have Christmas music playing.

 

I started by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock then colored using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering.  I then took a black artist pen and added some faux sewing doodles around the edges.  Since I didn't have matching brads to the card, I made my own faux brads by using a small fiskars hand-held circle punch along with a Martha Stewart glue pen.  For my card, I took a retired Stampin Up leaf wheel, along with a retired Rollergraph snowflake wheel, and alternated them onto a green card using glorious green ink before sponging the same ink around the edges of the card.  I then added some googlie eyes to the owls and diamond ice stickles to the "cymbal" and ornament.  The final embellishment was highlighting parts of the image using Sakura 3D glaze pens.
