Good morning my lovelies, I couldn't resist combining the gorgeous owl and pussycat stamps from the latest Chocolate Baroque release, Autumn Fairies.
I made the background with PanPastels and distress inks and cut an aperture in the centre. The owl and cat were stamped on vellum and embossed with black detail EP.I've added some sparkle to the cat's wings with glamour dust. On the back of the vellum, I masked a moon and then created a misty sky with PanPastels. To finish off I've added some seam binding ribbon, a flower and a little star charm.
i'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Charisma Cardz: favourite colours (pinks and purples for me)
Craft your Passion: No coloured in images
Creative moments: :frame/ anything goes
Wags'n'Whiskers: sparkle
whoopsi Daisy: ribbon and bows
thanks for visiting today, have a great day whatever you're doing

This is beautiful! Fabulous use of the pan pastels both on the gorgeous leaf background and on the vellum. I love the shape of the aperture and how you have played that up by darkening it. The images are awesome and look amazing on the misty background with the moon glowing through. Thank you for joining our No Coloured In Images challenge at Craft Your Passion. I've really enjoyed my visit today.
