Owly Hoo Preview Week - Day 4

One more day until the "U R So Sweet Blog Hop"  - Whoo hooo!  I can't wait to see what everyone has made for Valentines.  I just finished my blog hop project and I think you will like it.

Today I wanted to do a bit of an experiment with my K. Andrew stamps.  Yesterday you saw that I used the "Love" stamp to create a tone-on-tone background, well today I thought I would try embossing a background.  Now some of you experienced stampers are probably saying "big deal!" but I am just trying to show another way to use a stamp rather than just one whack! - stamp and then your done! :)

Here is the little card I made using the Owly Hoo sentiment stamps from K. Andrew Designs. I also used the Hooty Owl art image stamp for the background, which I did first.  I just stamped the image repeatedly, sprinkled one color embossing powder, tapped it off, then stamped again and then used another color.  I used 3 colors for the owls and then yellow for the stars.

Here is a close up.  I used the  Hoot N Hollar lite cartridge for the owl and then a stamp for the hat and noise maker.  I wouldn't say this is my best design but it showed that the idea worked and looks good.  I think this would make a good card for a child's birthday.

Here is the stamp set that I used.
