A few weeks ago I was asked to make a badger and an owl card for a good friend of mine. I used a photo for the front of the badger card and a stamped image (kindly sent by Rachel) for the back of the card and as it was a man’s card I didn’t add blooms and swirls but just a tiny bit of bling on the corners.

Inks: versamark with silver embossing powder
Card: black, silver and blue card, photo
Stamp: Michael Strong’s Mosaic frame
Other: pearls

For the owl card I kept to natural colours, used a photo of some bark (taken at Aviemore a few weeks ago) and a real feather which I hope is an owls. The background paper is hand made from recycled cotton T-shirts and the ribbon has leaves printed on it.

Inks: Moonshadow ink Burnt umber, Archival ink Coffee
Card: White card, hand made paper, brown card, photo
Stamps: owl stamp free from craft stamper mag
Other: peel-off leaves coloured and stuck to hand made paper, ribbon, hand made re-cycled paper, clear domes on eyes, copper brads, feather
