Special Owl Challenge Entry #10.

Good morning stampers! Welcome to the 10th and final installment of our very special Orange Jelly Heart Owl Stamp challenge!

Our final entry comes from Lyn Smith:


Lyn has created a gorgeous tri-fold card with her Heart Owl stamp.

From Lyn:

"I decided to make a tri-fold card from a sheet of A4 white cardstock, the folded size of the card is approx 8 1/4 in. x 4 in".

"For my card background I used a sheet of music paper (Fleamarket find) and cut it to fit the card size. I started off by painting some slightly watered down gesso over the sheet music, I still wanted the music to show through, the gesso also adds a bit of strength to the fragile paper. After the gesso had dried I sprayed the music paper with Vintage Pink and Bronze Glimmer Mist, then sewed around the edges and sponged some Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink around the edges. I then adhered this to the card base".


"For the front panel I stamped the owl onto a scrap of marbled cream/beige cardstock using Versamark ink, then brushed Super Bronze Pearl Ex powder over the Versamark, sprayed this with a sealer, cut around the image and adhered with dimensional dots to the front of the card".


"The lasercut chipboard tree (Micro Arts by Handprint Art Stamps) is sponged with dark brown Colorbox chalk ink and glued to card front. Stamped the 'Whoo' word using Justrite stamper alphabet - Curlz font in Versafine Vintage Sepia. Adhered some white lace (from Spotlight) down the left side and added a metal corner (Pixie Press). I also adhered some flowers (all flowers from a mixed bag, possibly Primas). The centre of the large flower is a gold jewelery finding with a pink Kaiser rhinestone added".


"The 2nd panel has the word 'Loves' stamped at the top (Justrite Stamper), the brackets are from the Stampin' Up Accoutrements set, stamped in Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink. The swirls (Inque Boutique - Storyboards set) are stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink and I've added some pink Kaiser rhinestones. The heart (Stampin' Up - Always set) is stamped onto a piece of white cardstock using SU Pretty in Pink ink, cut out then sponged with Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink. I added a flower and brad, a metal key, and some punched leaves to the top left and adhered to the 2nd panel".


"The 3rd panel has the same lace and metal corner as the front panel and a small flower with a Kaiser pearl centre at the bottom. The rhinestone arrow (Kaiser) is adhered to the top of the panel, 'You' (Justrite Stamper) is stamped in the centre and I've used the Orange jelly owl again at the bottom - this time I stamped directly onto the music paper with Versamark ink then heat embossed with copper embossing powder".

Here's what Lyn thought about her Orange Jelly Heart Owl stamp:

"Many thanks to Sarah, and Sue at Orange Jelly Stamps for allowing me to participate in this challenge. I found the stamp to be excellent quality, and of course I just love the owl design! I didn't have any instagrip to use with the stamp, but used it with Tack 'n' Peel which is what I have on my acrylic blocks - this worked well and I didn't need to use any extra cushioning when I stamped. The images turned out perfectly each time I stamped, you've gotta love that!".

Great work Lyn!
