Addicted to CAS - Challenge #64


 Hi everyone,
It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS, and our code word is 'Animal'. Our host is the super sweet and incredibly talented Joanna, and our sponsor is Create a Smile   who are offering 12.50 Euro (One Stamp Set) as a prize for the winner! We also have a very talented Guest Designer for this challenge ~ Monika, who has created two really sweet cards!

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 ~

    How fabulous, Barb ... from the woodgrain 'tree' to his glossy eyes and 'whispy' feathers around his eyes ... brilliant ... and so cute! Anita :)

    I just adore this card. I've got this sweet owl in my stash, and want to try coloring him just like you. I like that window you've installed behind his perch.

    Very 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.
