Today I am wondering Owl's It Going with you? This little guy/girl is ©Elaine Cox's Little Owl Witch and can be found at Sweet Pea Stamps. It can be bought as a single stamp or with 3 other darlings.
I colored my little witch with copics but accidentally stamped her on the wrong side of my card stock so it was the glossy side. I thought I would give it a shot and see what happens (note to self)DO NOT DO IT AGAIN!!!! I found I had a hard time with blending and as you can see in the pictures their are high and low spots in the coloring!!!! This creates a sheen and almost a sticky feel to the image. Live and learn I say! I put Glossy Accents on the moon behind and added some googley eyes for whimsy!!!! I used black, white and grey chalks for my background and opal liquid pearls for the stars. Vintage Photo distress ink was used to age the edges of all my papers. The sentiment was generated on my computer. A friend of mine had just laced a card of hers with string so I CASED that and did the same with some fibers I had forever and strung a few beads on them. Even with the shiny card stock I think it turned out pretty cute, what do you think?

Oh Kym, this is a hoot :-). I love the googly eyes and actually, it looks like the image is on specialty paper. The sheen almost makes it look like it's tiny micro beads. I like it. hugs

Beautiful Kym!! I love the owl and the paper you used with it looks great. What a nice match. Those googly eyes are perfect for that size owl and the tree looks great. The gloss is awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt may be a "mistake" in your eyes, but when I opened the page I thought "wow, how did she do that!" it has a very painterly feel to it! The papers you chose and the distressing your did just top it off perfectly! :-)Traci
