Be Flamboyant

  Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

I've another card using the new Spellbinders clubs for Septmeber.  This time it's the Wax Seal of the Month club in the spotlight, with the Small Die of the Month in a supporting role.

I've always had a soft spot for owls, so when this new seal arrived I was sooo happy!

As usual I started off by plating around with the seal and different techniques. This kit comes with the Must-Have Wax Beads Mix Basic which has  a really useful mix of black, white silver and gold beads, so for some I've used those and for others I dipped into my ever growing wax beads collection!  

Having made a whole lot of seals in 'owl' colours, I went a bit off piste and made this next bunch, which as you can see I've started to cut away from most of the wax.  It's very easy to cut wax with scissors if you just want to use part of the seal

 

I'd found the perfect quote from Coco Chanel about wearing the colours that suit you the best - I imagine she was trying to tell people that just becase a colour is the fashionable one this season, you'd be better off avoiding it if it makes you look ill!

Anyway, I've used it to give my wax owls the excuse to wear some unusual plumage!

The background is a  woodgrain design from a set of digital papers. I set the owls on a couple of branches cut using a very old Spellbinders set. Along the top of the card are leaves cut using the September Small Die of the Month

Next I printed the quote on the pc and added plenty of coloured banner shapes and twine to keep to the colourful theme
