Copper Owl

Another card for AnnaBelle Stamps challenge.

This was so hard to photograph! My camera didn't like the contrast between the copper and black. This pic is the best of a bad lot.....

I'm also not really happy with the thick plasticness (I know that is not a real word :) of the stickers where you can see the outline of them......maybe they need a bit of fussy cutting to remove the excess edging; but I am happy with the design and I love the uber-expensive copper printed handmade paper (the most expensive paper I have ever bought and just had to have).

Supplies:  white card base, kraft and black cardstock, copper and black dp, copper stickers, hb sticker, black rhinestones, foam pads, ds tape.

Tools:  Sizzix Big Shot, Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Four die, paper cutter, scalpel craft knife, scissors.
