It’s time for our next challenge. This challenge is inspired by Owls. For this challenge, make sure you use all of the colors on any paper crafting design (i.e., card, scrapbook layout, mini book, tag, gift bag, box, etc.). The main colors are highlighted in Polaroid inspired color swatches. If you want additional direction on the actual colors, Papertrey Ink’s berry sorbet/melon berry, dark chocolate, and spring moss are sample hues for this challenge. Feel free to use other manufacturers, such as Stampin’ Up!’s cameo coral, chocolate chip, and certainly celery. White or cream are optional color choices to add to your projects to create neutrality. Remember, colors can be incorporated into your project in more ways than cardstock. For the owls, please keep the color combination in mind, so brown, green, or coral owls are recommended. Please feel free to add owls to your projects in many ways, such stamps, fabric, paper, or other embellishments.
If you do not have any owl images in your stash, rest assured you can still participate because I am sharing a digital owl you can use! WOOHOO Isn’t he a cutie?! You may use the owl in either the .png (the first file) or .jpg (the second file) format. To download, right-click the image and click Save As. Please visit Savitri Wilder’s blog for video tutorials on how to use such files in Word or Photoshop. Most crafters have one or both programs!

We also have a Flickr Group available to share your projects. Please add your projects to Embellish Magazine Flickr group.
