Hey You Hoo!!

One of the sets of images that I have just loved from Artist Elaine Cox is the owls!! I am sharing cards I did with a couple of them here! These images are so adorable. I love their sweet faces and huge eyes. I must say I have been walking my neighborhood at nights (when I get a chance now) and the other night I actually saw an owl! A tiny owl!! Now, some of you probably think that's common to see or funny to be something I so remember, but I live in a large city and can't say I have ever seen owls in the city, so it was a real treat to see one. It makes me think of the one in this card.


For the above card I used Copic markers to color the image and Colorbox chalk edging on the card, American Traditional matching buttons and Bazzill papers. This stamp comes from Elaine Cox Sheet 3 (Plate 40) or it can be purchased individually as "Little Oak tree Owl".

This card also uses images from Elaine's Owls sheet and I have made the card a large 6" size and added a saying from ching chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collect Plate #33. The name of the owl stamp on this image is Owl Pals. I decorated the image with cute Prima flowers and mini sized buttons.


Hope you also love the Owls. Elaine Cox's collection also have several stamps that include wonderful stamps with girls and owls and other fun owl sayings. I hope to post some cards featuring these soon!


Have a great day! Hooty hoo owl lovers!

  9. Love your colouring. It looks so great with more vibrant colours. I'm always scared to make the colours too dark. Thanks for the inspiration
