Hannah and Mercury

Here is my entry for the Get Crafty August Sketch challenge. The photographs are of Hannah holding the owl Mercury at JAMBS Owls, Hall Place, Bexley. 

Here is the sketch:

I used a selection of papers from different collections by Kaisercraft.
The feather paper 'Plumology' from the Anthology collection, which was gutted so the reverse could be used for the title block and also the deep edge punch strip. For the latter I used a Martha Stewart punch.
The wood effect paper is called 'Gallery' and is from the Keepsake collection. This was distressed and inked with Distress Ink - Gathered Twigs.
A Sizzix Decorative Strip Sizzlit die was used to cut the rosettes using scraps of papers from the Ubud Dreams and Keepsake collections. Letter stickers were from the Base Coat collection. The ruler sticker is from Factory 42 collection.
The feathers were die cut from vellum with Memory Box dies.
In addition buttons, jute twine and an owl charm were used to complete the layout.

Thanks for looking.
