It is my Hubby's Birthday today so I thought I would share with my blogging friends the card I made him.
He is awkward to make cards for as his love is trains and I don't have anything with trains, however he is a keen birdwatcher and like me, loves Owls.
The base of his card consists of Heat Resistant Acetate to which I added Alcohol Inks in shades, Caramel & Meadow. I overstamped with one of my Swirl stamps using Archival Coffee, then rubbed the ink off to reveal a clear image. This is a technique I was shown at Sheena's class In Kettering recently.
The Owl image is from a Joanna Sheen CD - The Jayne Netley Mayhew Collection which I printed onto Gloss Photo Paper.
Using my leaves stamps from Creative Impressions, I stamped, then coloured using Promarkers. These were carefully cut out and added to the image using 3D Foam.
Brads were used to attach the acetate to the card.
His comment, I wish I could see that particular owl. At least he commented which is more than he usually does when I make anything.

This is beautiful Christine! I particularly like the flourish background and the leaves.
I've given up waiting for exclamations of delight from my OH when I present him with a card which has taken me hours to make, Lol! He did say the metal roses I made for his birthday card a couple of weeks ago were clever so I take that as very high praise.
Hugs
