August Stamp of the Month - What a Hoot!

This is the stamp of the month for August:

This is the silly card I made:

You can see from the top shot below that I used foam tape to make the eyes, wings and flowers stick out.  The flowers and wings have foam tape only on the top so they are raising off the page.

I USED OUR NEW MARKERS TO COLOR THE OWL!

(you can see them tomorrow with the new catty online)

I used the fat side to do his body and the small end to do the wings.

Also the flowers are with the markers too.  I used just our regular inks to stamp the image.

I just didn't color over the stamped image a lot.

I random stamped the pumpkin on the bamboo paper.

Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Friendship Bouquet

 Here we go again!  We are jumping with May's Stamp of the month!

If you are coming from Jen's Blog - you are on the right track, if not, keep hopping and you will do a complete circle. This is the stamp set this month. What a pretty stamp set.

 I started with white cardstock and stamped StazOn Saddle Brown ink with the flower outline.

 I took my blending pen and 3 yellows - Sunny Yellow, Sunflower and Sunkiss Yellow markers and colored in the flower.  The center was colored in with a Bamboo marker.

 When I was done, I outlined it with Honey Marker to make the lines show more.

I stamped the leaves with Topiary ink on Sweet Leaf cardstock and then took Topiary marker and went over the stamped image to make it look like the flower.

Thanks for looking!
