Although my image is blurry, you can probably guess (given my love of Neutrals) that Garden Green is the challenging colour! I'm surprised how good it can look, now that I've ventured to use it, though.
I was astounded to find recently that I had completely missed a couple of items in our Stampin' Up! catalogue (that we've had for almost a year!). I was envious that Vicky Hayes had used a stamp called Henry, in the UK catalogue ...... and delighted when I found that we actually have it too! Oh dear; I'm not quite as eagle-eyed as I thought I was! "Henry" is a builder wheel, but I have unmounted the rubber, and converted it so I can use it as a long stamp, on an acrylic block - much more user-friendly to my mind. Henry allowed me to create the fabulous argyle pattern on my card, and on the owl's vest - too cute, don't you think?!

Love this Christine! Very clever use of the Henry wheel on the owl vest! So cute!
ReplyDeleteLol I've not noticed 'Henry' before either. I tend to skim past the wheels but will make a note to stop and look properly in future.
ReplyDeleteYour card has turned out beautifully, love all the texture the wheel and b/g stamp have created. You'd made GG look pretty good my friend.

Love the Argyle look on this card Christine and of course your cute owl.
ReplyDeleteLove that you stamped on the owls vest too, so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super card, Christine. It is masculine, but fun as well. The patterned vest is very cute! I've now dismounted a couple of wheels and agree they are much easier to use.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, Christine! Perfect use of the colour combo! Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteLove Mr Owl's patterned vest, Christine - he looks very dapper! Cute card! Hugs :)
