A Card A Day August Day 5

 Day 5 Card 5

CTMH What A Hoot stamp set will be the star of my creations all month long. I've set up this challenge for myself to really use a stamp set to its full potential.

Today's card is an out of the box creation. I played around with the stamps and looked at the different shapes that could be achieved. So I used some creative masking i.e. tape, and inked up the pieces I want to keep. 

The owl body will serve as the base of my wind mill. 

Looks a little morbid I know.  I stamped the feet and part of the bottom of the second owl to get some hills and stems. No it's not a tomb! Trust me.

Once my basic background was stamped I used some distress inks to create my sky and ground. I them added some water splashes to add some interest. At this point it could be a scary ghost scene but, I'm more of a happy colorful type. 

Using the hat I stamped it multiple times in pairs to giver me some wide propellers. I colored and cut it out. Do you see it now? My windmill is coming together.

I stamped and colored lots of the eye options from the stamp set. These will be the flowers for my stems. I used some foam tape to add some dimension.

Here it it the final product. 100% out of the box original creation. I have to say this one is my favorite so far. The whole idea of creating something that wasn't there makes me so happy. I loved how happy this looks.
