| My entry to the Inkspirational Challenge #68. This card was one of the Top Picks at the challenge. |
Today I am back with this card that I made for Inkspirational Challenge #68. I was inspired by the owls in the picture and even though I've understood, owls are loners I wanted to have some owl fun. These owls are from Purple Onion Designs and I coloured them with Derwent Inktense Pencils. I made logs from a birch stamp just drawing in the ends of the logs. I used Memento Cantaloupe, Lulu Lavender, Versacolor Sky blue inks to create the background scene.
At the end, I think I had a good idea with the owls standing on top of each other but I don' think I really like the end result. Maybe this card would have been better without the background - truly Clean and Simple. It just looked so empty that way.. And I think the logs look like they have survived from nuclear explosion... too much shading I guess.
Anyhow here is the challenge graphic:
Thank you for stopping by today and Have a wonderful day!

Oh, no, please don't be dissatisfied with your card, Marika. It's absolutely wonderful! I truly love it, even the logs. It's such a wonderful idea to stamp them that way. The first thing I did on seeing your card was simle. So please be proud of your work!
ReplyDeleteTäähän on ihan huippu! Nuo pöllöt on aivan mahtavia ja taustamaisema juurikin hyvä, ihana talvinen taivas.
ReplyDeleteNo!!! the background makes this card so very successful! I think you should teach me to do that! Love the 3 owls! GREAT card!
ReplyDeleteMinustakin tää on aivan ihana eikä koivut ole lainkaan ydinräjähdyksen jäljiltä.! Aivan upea tausta, pitäisi itsekin taas yrittää näitä taustoja kun tulee niin nättiä nopeesti. Ennustan CASEausta tämän layoutin tiimoilta. :)
