We are in the last month of Sale-A-Bration so I have used a stamp set from your choices today, as well as a couple of the new additions for February. (You can see them in the flyer at the bottom of the post) It is the Adorable Owls set. There are three precious owls with wonderful expressions.
Stamps
I have said many times that I really love the expressions that the Stampin’ Up! Artists give to the animal images they draw. These owls are no different. The eyes on the owl are precious. I stamped the image with Early Espresso Ink and then colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. All of the Blends are listed at the bottom of the post in the Supply List. I really went a bit out of my norm and blended several colors for the area around the eyes. There are no dies for this stamp set, but it was not difficult to fussy cut with my Paper Snips.
The layers around the sentiment were created to give the sentiment something to hang on to. It is stamped using Melon Mambo Ink and then cut using the Double Oval Punch. That is a perfect fit for the stamp and more interesting than straight edges to me.
Papers
When I chose the flying owl of the three options I wanted a background that was easy and supported the flight. I went to the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper first because of the outdoor theme. And this was the first piece that I pulled out. Since the saying is a Night Owl, I am considering this landscape as a sunset. LOL!! Personally I just love the colors and after seeing the moon it was perfect for my idea.
Pulling from the owl and DSP, I went with Mango Melody for the Card Base. And then a layer of Soft Suede to tie in the owl colors. The finish is the layers for the sentiment. The White Frayed Ribbon and strip of Soft Suede ground the sentiment. And to finish I added one of the Iridescent Pastel Gems. The one I chose has a blue tint which brings out the blue eyes of the owl. He is my owl and he can have whatever color eyes I want ! 🙂
