Watchful

 

  Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

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

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 playing 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!  

The owl on this card started out as one of the white on green 2 layer (our and scrape) seals, but I added silver and copper and even a bit of gold to try and get variation in the feather colours.

For the main background I reverse-foiled the piece of foil I'd already used to make another card.  I actually just used the back of this month's Glimmer plate to do it and was quite surprised when it worked so well. The foil was from the Copper roll that come with this month's Glimmer of the Month and I applied it to white card.  I wasn't keen on the white lines so I inked over with shade of yellow and orange

 

 Next I cut the cat and some of the foilage from the September Small Die of the Month and arrnaged everything on a black card blank, I used orange card for the cats eyes, then tiny gold gem over the orange to make them really glint! I also glued some gold gems for the ow's eyes too

To finish I made the tag using part of one of the Glimmer sentiments from this month's club kit, foiled ontp black and matted onto orage card, then added a couple of strands of matching waxed twine
