Hello everyone! Betsy here to share the newest addition to the Animal Pals Collection – Animal Pals: Owls. I love owls and live in an area where in the summer and fall I can hear the owls hooting to each other when they wake up in the afternoon! It’s always a treat to hear them! Let me show you how I made my card.
I first composed my images in the computer and printed them out onto white card stock. I think it was at this point that I decided I could use this for a new baby card!…plus I have a friend who calls her baby girl an owlet! I knew this was not going to be complicated to color so I started in with the sky background.
I went over these areas of sky more than once so the color would be saturated and very dark.
Once I finished the sky, moved onto the rest of the coloring using browns and warm grays.
Once the coloring was done, I used a rectangle die from my stash to die cut the panel. I had to do some extending as my coloring did not extend to the height of the die cut panel. Once I had done that, I die cut a circle for the moon, computer journaled the sentiment and colored the card stock it was printed on and foam taped it to the panel. I added tiny metal stars and Star Dust Stickles to the moon which I adhered with foam tape. I adhered the whole panel to an A2 size card base in a soft gray and my card was done!
