Orange Owl
Here's my 17th ATC for The Craft Barn Alpha Dictionary Challenge where the letter is O. Another week where there are a lot of Os but not many stood out for me.
I created an Oblong ATC from linen card, blended with Ochre Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink and stamped the Ivy Corner from Oak House Studio with Thyme Brilliance. I cut an Oval from Orange card and stamped the Owl on this from Chocolate Baroque's Birds of a Feather set - it's inked with Onyx Black Versafine and clear embossed to enhance the image. It's funny because I was actually doing Ornithology, but the only bird that would fit the oval sensibly was the owl....oh yes, that begins with O too!! So I went back to my dictionary and tore out the Owl definition and added the alcohol inked vinyl Thicker.
Unfortunately little other crafting has got done this week - no idea where the time goes - but I have made another ATC for A and Z for my cover which I'll show you another time. Meanwhile, thanks for looking and I'm off to see what everyone else has been doing!!

Hi Elaine, I just love the gorgeous little owl and he looks beautiful against the orange background. Hope you get more time for crafting soon. Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty owl! I love the Fall color theme for it.
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine - funny that we've both gone with embossed birds! I've rediscovered heat embossing recently and I'm so glad I did as the effect is stunning. Love your orange owl. MMx

Izzy forgot the oval. A very clever ATC with all those 'o' words. I really love this one, but I have a bit of a soft spot for owls - so glad you went with that and not ornithology.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty owl - he really is handsome!
