Third Coast Owl Post

I hope everyone had stellar weather for their weekend! It has just been too nice to be inside creating during the day, so I've been burning the midnight oil lately!! Are you too?

Don't you just LOVE the new Third Coast Steampunk stamps?! One of my favorites is the Mechanical Owl so he's my choice for today! I had a lot of fun making this project!

First I created a colorful background using Dylusions spray inks.  Then I stamped the owl and over-colored with Copic markers to add dimension, highlights - and those eyes!!  Finally, I created a base using my new Tim Holtz Pocket Envelope Die and mounted the owl to it on some Steampunk paper embellished with stamped gears.  Hope you like it!

Don't forget to play in the new Third Coast Creative Challenge for your chance to win a fabulous Third Coast prize!

A wise old owl sat on an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why aren't we like that wise old bird?
