OWL that hard work...

Here today with my Design Team creation for our May Challenge at Whimsie Doodles

 

Our theme this month...

 

Teacher Appreciation / Graduation

I made a gift card holder using OWL SENTIMENT 

You can find it in the SHOP under the tab School Digi

 

 

and the inside...

 

 

 

I colored the image using the following COPIC markers: 

B00, B21, B23, C3, C5, R22, R27, R29, Y11, Y15

 

Finished with ribbon, button and twine. 

 

You can find the tutorial on You Tube HERE
