This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 276 where we were to get Personal with today's creation. Well my darling hubby decided a few days ago that he needed a graduation card for a cousin while we were at Wal-Mart. This day happened to be 4 days after graduation in our home town so the graduation cards were no longer in stock. No problem, I have this covered at home. This is what I came up with. I used a digital set released last month from TREEHOUSE STAMPS DIGITAL LINE. I love this wise old owl image. I printed the owl and the cap making both the same size. Colored and cut out the cap then added a black brad in the top of the cap, popped it up over the cap on the image and matted with cs that is a close match to the gold of the Colquitt County colors.
I used my all time fav color technique of copic coloring.
My dp is from DCWV glitter matt pack and my base is black.
I was happy that he loved it and hope she will like it too.
