Norma J Burnell - Firefly Friends Owl

 Here is a card I have made as part of the Sweet Pea Stamps Design Team.

 The image that I have used is by Norma J Burnell and is called "Firefly Friends Owl".  It is available as a digital stamp (at a cost of $3.00) and single rubber stamp (at a cost of $5.99).  I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers/Flexmarkers in lots of different shades of blue and highlighted areas with my Sakura Stardust clear pen and white gel pen.  I have used my Tim Holtz distressing tool around the image and then inked around it with Tim Holtz's Tumbled Glass and Broken China distress inks.

The backing papers I have used are from a Christmas DCWV paper pad.  I have die-cut some flowers out of leftover paper.  The card has been finished off with some stain ribbon, spotty organza ribbon, flowers, gems, die-cut buttons, die-cut scrolls and a sentiment off the computer.
