TMS 558 - Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello, everyone!  We have a new sketch for you this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches, and I hope it will inspire you!  I decided to make a card for a man.


This gorgeous Great Horned Owl was designed by Donna Ellis at Creative Smiles, and I won the set from her a couple months ago (thank you, Donna!).  I fussy-cut one of the pre-coloured images so I could pop it up on foam tape.  Behind the owl is a stitched oval die-cut.  The kraft background was die-cut with a stitched wood-grain pattern.  I added some die-cut tree branches according to the sketch and finished the card with a stamped sentiment.  I couldn't resist a Great Horned Owl pun, so the sentiment reads, "Wishing you a Great day!"

Here's our Sketch 558, designed by Melissa, and I rotated it clockwise.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you make!


I would also like to support the following challenges:  2 Crafty Critter Crazies AG w Critters 1/5; Arty Divas 23 AG 1/5; Cardz TV 116 AG 1/3; Crafter's Castle AG 1/3; Crafts Galore Encore AG 2/3; Crafty Catz 509 AG Optional CAS 1/3; Crafty Creations 410 AG 1/3; Crafty Friends 137 AG 1/3; Creatalicious AG Optional Birthday 2/3; Creative Craft Cottage 130 AG 1/5; Creative Fingers AG 2/3; Cute Card Thursday AG UE;  DL.ART June AG UE 1/d; Dragonfly Dreams Make it Masculine 1/3; Jan's Digi Stamps June AG 2/5; Kat Scrappiness All About the Boys UE; Lil Patch of Crafty Friends AG 1/3; Papercraft Business 30 Father's Day/Masculine 1/3; Simon Says Stamp Monday It's a Man Thing 1/5; Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Masculine 1/5; The Outlawz Monday Greetings Masculine 1/3; The Paper Funday 18 AG Make it Masculine 1/3; Use Your Stuff 399 Masculine or Father's Day UE; Virginia's Show and Share June AG 1/4; Word Art Wednesday 442-443 AG w Uplifting Sentiment 1/5 wk1

    Wow! I love what you have done in making the sketch come to life life with my little owl stamp, KT - it's a wonderful card, and I've pinned it. I especially like the white halo around the bird. Should anyone ask you in the future, I'm now giving the set to people who ask for it. THANK YOU FOR SHARING such a fabulous card, KT! hugs, de

    I love that image - it is so realistic! This is a fabulous masculine card, something I really struggle to create. The lighter colour choice behind the owl really shows off the details.

I'm still working on the house but thought I would sit down for a few minutes and check out what my crafty friends are doing - I'm actually ready for bed...
