This is day 2 of my Silly Old Bear infatuation tour. I hope you do not get bored with me. If nothing else, I have different layouts for each day to give you ideas. Today’s card is one that could be interpreted in a few different ways. Tell me what it means to you.
Papers
The comment I made yesterday is that it is all about the paper, and that is still true. That is the theme for this week’s worth of cards. The paper in question is the Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper. One of the sheets has a variety of scenes that can be cut apart. I have used these scenes on all but one of the cards I created. For today’s scene, I tore around the edges of this one and then used a Blending Brush with Golden Glow Ink to “age” the freshly torn edges.
The Owl is Die cut from a different piece of the DSP. He fit perfectly on this card with the smaller owl flying in towards the doorway. Mr. Owl is the only part that I have raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals. All of the other cardstock colors are pulled from the DSP scene. The base is Cherry Cobbler with the layer of Peaceful Pine.
Stamps and Dies
The owl being Die cut was mentioned above. He was cut using the Sweet Old Friends Die set. I could have stamped him using the matching stamp set and then cut, but the paper had a beautifully completed owl which was much simpler to use.
The sentiment and layer are from the Sweet Words & Labels Dies. You might be able to see that I also used the Blending Brush and Golden Glow Ink to “age” the sentiment as well. I also cut off one end so that it appears to end at the side of the card. There really was not quite enough room to have the entire layer there. And I like this look. These are also part of the Suite of products. I do love the fun shapes of these Dies. The sentiments are wonderful as well and you will see the majority of them on the cards I have to share this week.
Extras
The Extras today are simple ones. To ground everything I added a length of Peaceful Pine Ribbon around the cardstock and the scene. Then to continue with the Peaceful Pine, I added a single one of the 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Peaceful Pine to the sentiment. This card has a little of a masculine feel with the darker colors and “aged” look to the papers. It was a bit unexpected but I do like the outcome.
