Autumn Owl

 

Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

This time I'm sharing a very simple card using the fab owl seal from the Wax Seal of the Month club from Spellbinders.  I found a lovely Autumnal digital paper to use for the background and cut a narrow panel, matted it onto light brown and gold, 

As usualwhen I get a new seal I started by having a bit of a play session. I use different techniques and wax bead colours and find out what works best, 

. This kit comes with the Must-Have Wax Beads Mix Basic which has  a really useful mix of black, white, silver and gold beads.  Here's my first batch of seals; you'll see some are simple pour and stamp, some are two layer pour and scrape, and some I tried to use a couple of coloursfor the feathers. I tried a bit of colour-mixing for the feathers

I chose to use a simple gold stamped seal for this card, but I added more shading with copper and gold glass pens and some green on the twig. 

I fixed some lengths of waxed twine and gold thread to the back of the seal, then tucked the ends under one side of the upper panel, then glued this to the dark brown card blank.  The other ends were trimmed and left loose.
