I am thrilled that the team at The Play Date Cafe asked me to join them as Guest Designer this week. Check out the fabulous colour combination Sarah Anderson chose. I wanted to create something a little different from a card this week so decided on a felt book cover.
I have stamped the owl onto calico with StazOn ink and needle felted his body with fibres to match our colour story.
I have hand stitched around the edge of my image with sky blue thread and added co-ordinated buttons to one side. A small owl charm has been added to my owl's body.
Ribbon and heart beads have been added in this weeks colour story.
CROP STOP is the sponsor this week and they have a fabulous prize on offer. Please check out the prize and challenge details at
The Play Date Cafe. The deadline for this challenge is
Tuesday, 12th April 2011 at 11:59pm EST. Join in the fun, we would love to see your projects in the gallery.
Thanks once again to everyone at The Play Date Cafe for the invite and a special thank you to Jinny for all your help with the co-ordination. Thanks for stopping by, Tracy x x
