Nutty Buddies



I decided to use the super cute owl from the new CC Designs, Meoples Nutty Buddies set to make a post it note holder. 





I wanted to make a little Thank You for one of my Daughter's teachers and I thought that adorable owl would work well with the All About Teachers sentiment set.

The background was made using the gorgeous Birch Tree Stencil and the CC Designs Snow Storm ink pad. All I had to do was sponge some of the ink on with a dauber, it was very quick and easy and it looks so effective.  Then I coloured the owl and leaves from the set with copics in some bright, fun colours, cut them out and layered them on top.
Cute!

I'd like to enter into the following challenges :

7 Kids College Fund - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp - no designer paper

I have a card to share today, using an older CC Designs stamp.

This is Santas Helper, I have always loved her and when the Design Team were given the chance to work with an older design I jumped at the chance to play with her.

And she didn't disappoint!  She was heaps of fun to colour and I just love the way she turned out :)




I took colour inspiration from the papers and I found a fabulous sketch at Sketch Saturday to use.

Stamps : Santas Helper, Handy Christmas Greetings
Card : xpress it, black, baked brown sugar, Mistletoe Magic (MME)
Ink : memento black, suede, antique linen distress ink
Other : Make a card #9 Autumn Die, Make a card #5, Make a tag #6, Autumn enamel dots, copics
