The last two Owls

*This is my 1000th blog post - wow!!

Here are the final two owl cards that I made with the recent High Hopes stamps release (you can find them here on the One Crazy Stamper website).  These are two of my favourite cards that I've made over the last while!  Here is Blinky Owl:

 The stump in this one, and the branch in the card below are two of the accessories available with these little owls, as are the sentiments.  I knew that with Blinky's eyes being closed, that I wanted it to be a nightime scene, and I dug through my paper stash to find this silver starry background paper that I've had kicking around for probably more than ten years!!  And here is Happy Owl:

I tried painting a watercolour sky, and didn't like the results, so instead I made my own cloud template and sponged some pale blue ink over it - it's a little brighter in person.  I fussy cut around both the branch and the owl, and popped him & the sentiment up for a little dimension.  So head over to the OCS website to check out the entire release, and if you use SVG files, they're available for the entire collection!

The cutest owls!!

Happy Monday, everyone!  I'm going to do a few posts this week, featuring the cutest new owl stamps from the new High Hopes release.  If you're impatient and want to see them all at once - check out my April 8th post on the One Crazy Stamper blog where I show all six of them!  And if you stopped by the booth at Scrapfest in Kitchener this weekend, you would've seen them all live.  Here are the first two:

These are so fun and quick to colour... and the best thing, is that there are accessory stamps that you can purchase to dress up your owls if you so desire!  So for the card on the left, I've added the birthday hat and balloons.  There is also a bow tie, hair bow, branch, tree stump and spectacles (stay tuned and I'll show you the rest, this week).

 For this little guy, (Waving Owl) I got on Pinterest and searched how to colour balloons with Copic markers, as I wanted to achieve that transparent look.  For a first effort, I'm fairly happy with how they turned out.

This is Happy Owl - I fussy cut him out, and popped him up on some pop dots along with the sentiment.  Oh, and did I mention that there are a whole bunch of "owlish" sentiments that go with the images??  Check out the High Hopes stamp section on the One Crazy Stamper website, and you'll find the entire new HH release.  And if you use SVG files - you can get them for each of the new images!  I'll be back later this week with my next two owls :o)
