This owl from “Still Night” was a little intimidating to me. I thought it might be beyond my abilities to make an owl look realistic with shading. Give me a cartoon owl and some bright Blends colors, and I will give you a fabulous whimsical owl. But this guy…he needed to look natural.
I was pleasantly surprised at my results with just a few colors – Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Light and Dark Soft Suede, Light Granny Apple Green, Light Mango Melody, and Light Black. I can’t take too much credit for this success – the stamp itself has great markings of texture, and of course, the Stampin’ Blends make everything look professional.
I made a couple of these, on a fun fold card.
Here’s a closer look at the second one…
Each card base is made up of two pieces of Gray Granite. The back measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, and the swinging “barn door” measures 2 3/4″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. The folding piece is attached to the back.
The starry designer paper measures 4″ x 3″, and it overlaps the seam between the two base pieces, hiding it nicely. The Whisper White piece measures 4″ x 2″.
The wood grain designer paper pieces on the front of the card measures 4″ x 2 1/2″ and 5/8″ x 4″. The Crushed Curry circle is attached to the front panel, with adhesive only on the lower portion.
