Here I am with my Make It Monday card for Papertrey Ink. Our challenge from Betsy is to Spot Color Word Diecuts. It's like highlight coloring on a die cut with the rest of the image in black and white surrounding it.
Had I ever heard of this before? No. Did I learn something new? You bet! Out of my style zone ? Most definitely. Graphic is the one style I avoid - but I had so much fun experimenting with this technique.
Now it's time for you to see what you think.
I didn't have a PTI line image except flowers, so I stamped these adorable owls since they seemed a good fit for this technique. For the die cut, I used the thanks from PTI's Bold Borders: Diagonal die. I did the highlight coloring with Copics and Distress Markers. Here's a close up so you can see the detail.
I'm sure you can imagine me wondering which embellishments to use (sequins, anyone?) I ended up deciding the googlie eyes were a perfect accent right in the center of the card.
I placed the owls on a background panel made of Distress Oxide inks that had been spattered, and I rounded the corners for a playful effect.
Thanks for visiting me today. Thanks for OWL you do, too!

It is a different style for you, but I love it! Good job in getting outside your comfort zone! Very cute owls! Hugs!
Cute, CUTE card Cindy!! Those owls are adorable and I love the googlie eyes!! Great background with the splattered DOX inks too! :0)
Oh how sweet!!! I love this darling card and and how you incorporated the challenge!
I've seen a few different versions of the embedded word technique, but not this one -- leaving the image black and white, but coloring the word die. Now I want to try it! One needs a somewhat bold word die, which I'd have to think on. Very fun! Of course, you must know I love those cute owls, and the googly eyes are just perfect on the one owl. You made a beautiful background, too. Someday I'm going to get a few distress inks and try them out. Well done, Cindy!
