Love of animals is the optional theme on the Allsorts challenge #725 . As usual it is anything goes or we can go for various options each week. These two stamped and coloured owls were loitering on my desk so I fussy cut them and found some other components to build up a card. For the extra branches I dug out a really old die - one of the long strip ones with foam on the cutting side which I've had for many years. Things have certainly moved on a long way with dies over the years and I even had to bring an old die cutting machine out of semi retirement to cut these. Lots of lovely animal inspiration from the Allsorts design team and super prizes to be won.
Tree Background - Nested Friends die cut backed with New Horizons paper from Stampin' Up
Branches - Sizzix strip die from years ago
Owls - Adorable Owls from Stampin' Up
Designer Paper - from a Prima paper pad
I often think the same Val, just the other day when I saw some decoupage sheets on TV and remembered the time we used to cut it all out hand. All for the better but of course all costs us more money.
ReplyDeleteYour Owl's are fun, they always raise a smile and like the silver birch backdrop. Many thanks for using the animals option at Allsorts, always lovely to have you join us.
