What a Hoot !!




This weeks challenge over on the Simon Says Stamp and Show blog is to make an  'ATC'.  This is mine ...........

I started with a base of mountboard cut to ATC size and used Dylusions paints in grey and moss applied with my fingers to cover.






I next took a swirl stamp from Paperartsy and inked with Memento bahama blue and stamped randomly as shown. The left hand edge is punched out of patterned paper with a Martha Stewart edger punch and stuck in place.





The main image is a collage made from ARTchix images. I love the specs, eyes and hat ......... don't you?  Next I added some little circles (using the lid off a quickie glue pen) inked with rich cocoa and bamboo leaves Memento ink.




Final touches were added with a Posca opaque white pen and barn door distress ink around the edge applied with cut'n'dry foam.  The owl words were added finally with a set of office letter stamps and onyx black Versafine ink.

This ATC also meets the challenge over on Fun with ATC's where the theme is 'Circles'
Really enjoyed making it too !
