Color Throwdown #CTD329. I have a bit more time for the The Paper Players #PP232 'Feathered Friends'. I put these two challenges together because thet work perfectly together!
Oh I hope I can make the Throwdown on time.. Has anybody done this too or am I the only crafter procrastinator!! Update: Made it with 3 minutes to spare!! Phew!!
Challenges Entering:
While I was waiting to download the photos I was remembering how I loved the Color Throwdown challenge this week.. It gave me an opportunity to use a stamp I have never used before plus it went with The Paper Players #PP232 'Feathered Friends challenge.. Win! Win!
The inspiration picture from CTD instantly reminded of this adorable Owl stamp by Stampendous. I couldn't help myself when I saw this challenge!! I just kept seeing the owl, so why fight it and do it. So, I took the photo quite literally when doing this challenge. I hope you like it..

Coloring it using Prismacolor pencils in just the colors required for the challenge was just the trick for my 'feathered friend'.. I then mounted the owl on wood grain patterned paper which I then embossed in wood grain to add texture. Sponged the edges and then adhered some enamel dots for a splash of color on the brown.
Adding the sentiment by Stampin Up! Perfect Pennants was perfect to put in the 'tree knot' which was a shade (or two) darker then the wood grain.
See ya,

ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous owl, Shawna! Love your amazing coloring and the rich texture of the wood grain. Thanks for playing along with us this week at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteYour owl is colored so prettily! I love the added layers and textures you have added to your card, they make it very rich looking! Thanks you for playing along with The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteYour post made me chuckle - I thought I would be the last one to link up to The Color Throwdown this week so I was amused that you and one other came in behind me! I love this zentangle-inspired owl, and the fussy cut against the bark background with the little candy dots of colour are just gorgeous! Thanks for joining my CAS bird challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
