Here is my card:
I've had this stamp and die set in my stash for a few months, and finally pulled it out for this challenge. I was inspired by the 'whispy' technique Sandy Allnock used when she previously colored this image, and thought it would be fun to try it on my owl. Here is a close up:
I also blended distress inks to create the sky background and framed the aperture with SSS white woodgrain cardstock. Lastly, I added Glossy Accents to his eyeballs to make them shine.
I hope you'll stop by the ATCAS blog to see what my teammates have created and play along with us!
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I hope your weekend is off to a great start ~

ReplyDeleteso sweet, barb!!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute sleepy eyed owl! so wonderfully colored!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, Barb! I guess the 'wispy' technique probably is how you colored the owl's face... it's fun, it adds great texture and the idea of fluffiness. Love the blended sky.
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible inspiration, Barb! I'm so glad you are on the team! This is so well executed and adorable!! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
