I decided I would color my owl with Stampin’ Blends and place him in front of a pretty watercolored moon. To create the background, I wet the watercolor paper with clear water first and then used my Aqua Painter to swirl Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel, and Balmy Blue ink. I love these colors together!
To color the owl, I looked up a photo of an owl on the internet to get an idea of the coloring and shadows. Then, I used the Stampin’ Blends Marker Colors listed below in my supply list. I used the Color Lifter Marker at the very end to add highlights to the face and feathers.
I decided to keep this card clean and simple, so I embossed the Whisper White Cardstock in the background with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impression Embossing Folder. Then, I added a single strip of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper.
The Night Owl Thinlits Dies include these pretty little pine branch dies that I used near my tag, as well as the delicate snowflakes on the upper corner. I think they add an elegant touch. To break up the tag from the background, I cut a circle die with the Layering Circles Framelits Dies and then embossed it with the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impression Embossing Folder.
As a final touch, I wrapped the card with some Nature’s Twine that I had unraveled.
Supplies used on my card:
I LOVE this card! It is so very cool…especially the watercolored background with the white branches over the top! Excellent work!
Thank you so much Jenny!
