Father's Day at Cards for Guyz

We're coming up to Father's Day here in the UK and that is our current challenge at Cardz for Guyz.
I don't often make a card for it unless it is a DT card as I lost my Dad fourteen years ago.
However I made this one with Roy in mind, hence the owl, as they are one of the many things he has collected over the years. I'll see if his daughter wants to use it!

The owl and background paper is from a Making Cards CD, and the sentiment was created in Craft Artist. The pieces of card are all snippets, although the pile never seems to get any smaller! I fussy cut the owl out and glossy accented his eyes. Make sure to check out the rest of the DT's work.
I'm also going to take this across to the Playground

Anything with Wings

Welcome to another challenge at Digitally Sweet. This week the theme has been set by Ali and she has asked for "Anything with wings"

 

 We are sponsored by Digi Darla who has some great digis to choose from. I chose to use her Paper Pieced Owl and digitally paper pieced it. It's the first time I have tried this technique. I had a few hiccups on the way - but eventually came up with something that was reasonably OK! Fortunately I had made this well in advance as I have spent most of this week nursing an horrendous cold!!  So you must forgive me if I  haven't commented as much as usual. I'm pleased to say it is now much better - good job as my son is coming for a visit this weekend and I didn't want to pass it on!!

Another Owl Card

Another owl card. This time I used the smaller version of the template and cut a branch and moon out of card.
