Wise Owl CC

 Hi Everyone, I have 2 DT cards today, I hope you will be able to visit each of them, this is for -

Critter Crazy

Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 

Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter...

 

 

 

I had this wonderful owl die from my magazine subscription and decided to do a simple card with him. He was cut out from Kraft card and inked and shaded on his chest and around the edges and to show a little of the embossing in the die. I then added the frame die supplied with him. I added an inked piece of paper behind his eyes, I found the white made him scary. I added alcohol maker to the black of his eye and to his nose then added a white gel pen to highlight the eye.

 

I needed something for him to sit on, so went into my Cameo and cut a branch for him, I added the individual leaves, but forgot to shade it all!!! duh!

 

I used a die cut as a stencil for the background, using the top of the card which was above the branch. The sentiment was included in the die pack, so stamped it out onto a simple white card and placed it onto the card. 

 

I love how textured the owl is and how I can open up the tiny features. To keep those feathers and feet up, I added him to the background card with 3D pads.
