Fox and Owl

Hello and welcome!

It's time already for a new theme at Allsorts challenge and this week it's my turn to host. I selected the theme of "For Boys or Men", this can be for any occasion as long as it's suitable for a boy or man. I hope you'll join us for your chance to win. 

I used some new to me Lavinia stamps on this card.

Red Pine Large, Fox Set 1 and Brodwin & Maylin stamps all by Lavinia. The birthday greeting background is also new to me from My Favorite Things. I created the scene using a torn paper mask and a circle die cut for a moon. Distress inks/oxides used are Speckled Egg, Dusty Concord and Chipped Sapphire. I used a Sakura Stardust glitter gel pen for some highlights. The small "happy birthday" sentiment is from Penny Black set Snippets

WOW - what a stunning card Ellie - love all the stamping and stamped layers you have achieved without it being cluttered. Great use of the sentiment, stamping it up the side as you did
Blessings

Love how you placed the Fox looking up at the swooping Owl Ellie, perfect masculine card. And also perfect theme to drag such as me outside my comfort zone into male cards which I always avoid and then panic when I need one.

Oh that is really neat! What a beautiful scene. I do find cards for boys and men harder to make than ones for women and girls. I think I just naturally tend to buy more flower/ pretty stamp sets..

Carol L said...

I just love that fabulous background with those trees and the fox! The colors are amazing and the sentiment done on the side like that is a great look too! Wonderful masculine card!
