Hi there,
Today I'd like to share with you my second SNS September Reveal card, using the
Great Horned Owl Set 912, only I changed it to be a Snowy Owl and paired it with one of
my flocked and glittered backyard photos!
my flocked and glittered backyard photos!
Using the Stamp Platform, since I was working with Watercolor paper and would want to make a couple of inkings in order to get a good impression, I stamped the owl image in Metro Grey Hybrid Ink.
After fussy cutting the owl (and cutting off his ears) with the 5" Mini Scissors I used
Brushable Glue and the Quickie Glue Pen to apply Snow White Flocking.
His eyes were colored with yellow Copic marker YR23 and then I added Dimensional Glue on top.
Dimensional Glue was also put down at the feet for more flocking. Snowy owls have hairy feet!
Did you know that Snowy Owls are not nocturnal like other owls? So, I took one of my backyard snow day photos, and using the Quickie Glue Pen I added Twinkling Clouds to the snow on the branches.
I edged a piece of cardstock with 1/2" Tear-ific Tape. After removing the protective backing I applied the Oceanic Glass Glitter, and then filled in any spaces with Ocean Breeze Glitter.
The sentiment from the Snow One Like You Set 515 was stamped in the Stamping Platform with Empire Blue Hybrid Ink and die cut with the Spellbinders Grommet Tag. I then edged the tag with the Nuvo Medium Glue pen and applied Ocean Breeze Glitter.
Taking a strip of 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and twisting it around to make it into a piece of sticky twine, it was then rolled in the Ocean Breeze Glitter.
I put a little mounting tape behind the sentiment tag and attached the twine through the holes in the tag to the back of the photo. The photo was then adhered to a white card base with Mounting Tape. The owl was positioned on the branch with 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and a piece of Mounting Tape behind the head. Then Silver Moondust Glitter Drops were added to the sentiment and around the photo to finish of the card.

Hi Shona, WOW, love this card and that owl is so pretty.Love how you made this a snowy scene. To me, how you made this looks like a night photograph of the owl in the tree. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Shona. The background you've made for your lovely owl is stunning! xx
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you were able to use one of your photos for a lovely background to this awesome owl. His eyes were impressive! Always enjoy reading how you've used the products, and making the 'twine' out of the tape was such a good idea. Loved the glitter and glass treatment too! What an icy looking card! TFS & Hugs
