Oh say, some of you may possibly have viewed yesterday's posting by the Graphics Fairy. But just a few -she's not really that well known. So, you probably do not know about her Brag Monday either. :)
GF mentioned Suzanne's of WhyCuzICan, BOO to You Project, created with the above owl image. It is very cool, sheet music and all! Inspiration found.
I decided to give it a quick try on some scrapbook paper. Although I do have several pads of paper, I could only find one at the moment, I think the paper suits Mr. Owl very well! If you look closely at the image, you can see that a couple of the dots landed in his eyes -not a look I was going for. And, since I could not find my mini punch either - I used the Martha Stewart Lady Bug punch to punch out solid green circles to cover the brown dots. You do not really notice the cover up as you walk by. Some will say it is an intended effect, I will go along with that.
I started out with a wooden silver frame and rubbed on some black craft paint, wiping off the excess. Easy stuff.
Embellish with a few bats, and that's it!
Need some more owl inspiration? How about popping over to visit Cute Polish and find out how to create an owl that you can take with you everywhere and that matches my paper!
Remember to stop by the on-going Holiday Sweet Swap. I will be co-hosting in November!
