"OWL" always love you!
Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once again, with a new post showcasing my latest card created using Blank Page Muse products! Today, I’m crafting with this beautifully detailed stamp and colored pencils. Let's Dive in!

To create this project, you will need the following:
Stamps
- Large Owl on Branch stamp
Paper
- (1) White Cardstock - 4.25" x 5.5"
- (1) White A2 card base
Tools and Consumables
- Sticky mat (optional but very useful to hold work in place without using tape)
- Scissors
- Liquid glue
- Paper Trimmer
- Blue Ink
- Brown ink
- Ink-blending brush(s)
- Stamping tool (I use a Misiti)
- Colored Pencils
- Masking sheet - 4.25" x 5.5"
- Low-tack adhesive
- Sentiment of your choice (Mine came from my stash)
Process:
- Secure the white cardstock to the stamping tool.
- Align the owl stamp in the center of the panel.
- Use low-tack adhesive on the back of the owl stamp and then secure it to the stamping platform with some light pressure.
- Ink the stamp with the Brown ink, and then stamp the image. Reapply ink to the stamp and restamp if required for complete even coverage.
- Remove the stamped panel from the stamping platform and secure the masking sheet in its place.
- Ink the stamp with the Brown ink, and then stamp the image. Reapply ink to the stamp and restamp if required for complete even coverage.
- Remove the masking sheet and trim it along the edges of the image with scissors.
- Peel the masking sheet back and apply it over the image previously stamped on the cardstock panel.
- Secure the masked panel to your worksurface or the sticky mat.
- Use the Blue ink and an ink brush to ink blend a blue sky around the image to the desired hue. I like to go light with the sky in my cards to keep the focus front and center.
- Once the ink has dried, slowly peel the masking sheet off at a 45-degree angle to minimize the chances of tearing the image below.
- Remove the panel from the sticky mat and secure to a work surface. I prefer my glassboard because it is ultra smooth, but I have also found a clipboard to work well.
- Use colored pencils, Browns and Greens, to color in the image.
- Secure the panel into the stamping platform, align, secure, ink, and then stamp the sentiment.
- Remove panel form the stamping platform.
- Secure the background panel to the black cardstock with liquid glue.
- Adhere the completed panel to the A2 card base with liquid glue.
