I was a bit busy yesterday, but finished a card to join the 'Keeping in touch theme' of the Hero Arts August challenge Round 1, to use my favorite brand new Silly Scape stamp. It was delivered the day before yesterday. I wanted to make a little whimsical card to use it.
Here is the result, 'A night owl in the silly scape'.
I colored the HA notecard with several copic markers for the background, and added the machine stitching a little. And put star shaped gems.
Moved the second triangular roof partially in the back row from the left to the top of the third building to perch the owl on it. The buildings at the bottom right is 3-dimensional. And actual color of the circle around the sentiment is silver color. A red bow was too big???
I'm now having a few ideas to use this stamp. I hope finishing them in the near future.
This is a partial closeup.
Stamp used:
Hero Arts Silly Scape / K5425, Poly Clear Say Hello / CL378
Other supplies:
Bazzill CS, Hero Arts notecard
Tsukineko Versa Fine / Onyx Black, Memento / Tuxedo Black, Brilliance / silver
HA star gemstones, eyelets, ribbon, Copic markers

I inform all the lovely peoples of my father's update. He is going to leave hospital today's afternoon. I'm a bit worrying about taking care of him in this severe weather. - It continues over 35C for about 10 days. By the weather forecast, the burning hot days, the temperature around 35C will continue to 2 more weeks. *sigh*
And it's no doubt it makes me to take more time to him. And I have to prepare for my work little by little. But I hope him to spend comfortable days at home! - with our cat, Gray, too! Her condition comes to be pretty good - eats enough, sometimes plays, and ocasionally assumes a threat posture to the outside noisy three kitties - they were born in our garden on Mother's day in this May. And their mom is yet with them.
Thank you so very much for all your so kind words to me to cheer me up! I so appreciate all of you!
Thanks for stopping by! :)
Have a beautiful week and weekend!
Hugs to you all, Tomo

Hi Tomo, I'm so glad to see you participating in the Hero challenges again! I LOVE this card - your little owl sitting on the buildings is darling, and no, I don't think that red bow is too much. It adds a nice punch of color.

Hi, Tomo! SUPER card! Love the colors you picked and how you made it into a night scene. I especially love the gorgeous red ribbon and how you cut out some of the buildings and put them in front for dimension. Stunning! :-)
