Hello Everyone,
It is Sunday night and I am finally uploading a project using fabric for this week's "Make it Monday #79 - Fabric Die Cuts" post over at Nichole Heady's blog: HERE.
I also drew inspiration from two other sources for my project. The first source is a post titled "guess whooo loves you" at Lilybean Paperie - Melissa Phillips beautiful blog. She made two beautiful owls using the onsie die and I really have been wanting to try it since I saw it. (She has a great tutorial on her blog showing how she made them!) And tonight was my night. She also made the video for this week's Make it Monday and I think the fabric die cuts were the perfect partnership for this project!
The other inspiration that I used was the CR84FN61 challenge: HERE. Here is the inspiration photo for this week:
This will be my first time participating in the CR84FN challenge. I love this challenge and its incredible team and participants!. But it is only recently that I have begun to have personal time to participate in challenges more frequently. I am finding that I really enjoy both sketches and inspiration photos/videos to spark my creative spirit. So thanks Nichole and Mona and everyone else who helps to make all the different challenges available to all of us!
And thanks Melissa for the wonderful OWL's you created! I followed your gorgeous samples very closely! They are both so adorable!!! I loved the negative die cut tag you made too and I took my alphabet die apart so I could do it too!
Here is my owl made with linen fabric, burlap, felt and embellishments:
I used a flower die from MFT to make "feather" borders out of felt on my wings. I used a linen fabric for the owl's body. And burlap for the "belly". The talons are felt leaf die cuts. And the little crown is from Maya Road and was sent to me by Sarah Martina in a "blog candy" gift a long while back. So happy I got to put it to use! Thanks Sarah! She is amazing too!!! Love her blog of inspiration and visit often!
Post Script: I am so blessed that my little owl was one of the projects chosen for the "top 3" over at the CR84FN challenge blog among all of the incredible links! Thanks to everyone at CR84FN - I love your challenges and all of the inspiration they provide! If you are interested you can see the post and the other incredible winners for challenge #61: HERE

Here is a close up of the eyes made from Prima and Papertrey Ink buttons. And the flower is a hodge podge of scraps from my flower "leftovers" jar.
That is it for me for tonight. Off to bed...thanks for taking a look at my little owl!
Hoot Hoot!!
