Whimsie Doodles Challenge

Hey Everyone! I'm so excited to be part of the Whimsie Doodles team this month as Guest Artist! Today starts the new monthly challenge... a fun sketch created by Laura!

I chose to play with one of the new digis available in the shop now. This adorable owl is part of the Valentine  Gift Tags. Colored it up with Copics, and cut out with Spellbinders Standard Circle Large dies. Used the CC Designs Phlox Flower die to make a layered flower, and added a button with twine. The background paper is from MME So Sophie, and the leaf dp is MMBI Autumn Layers.

Here's the sketch from Laura...

the die set comes with all three flower sizes

this one is made with two of the middle size and added a small prima flower...
