Nothing But Owls

Did you know that Fall is called "Hooting Season" I have been reading up on owls, the acoustics are better this time of year as the streams are lower. It is after most fledglings have left the nest and it is time re-establish boundaries after spending so much time at the nest.  Owls are the inspiration for my cards today.

Fall Trees

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, I love the colors of the changing leaves!  

The colors are so beautiful.  

Today I am taking inspiration from the leaves that have been falling. I took the Bare Tree Silhouette stamp and water colored the picture with fall colors in two different cards. 

My inspiration!

Gems

Cosmic Shimmer Gilding flakes

Stamp the images on smooth watercolor paper with VersFine black ink, heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 

I love watercolors, as you can see one set is not enough!  Paint the ground in greens and browns, let dry. Then paint the sky a faint blue, let dry. 

Using a mixture of reds, oranges. yellows and browns for leaves.  Do not try and paint individual leaves, add blobs of color and you will get the effect of leaves. Let each color dry before adding the next, or the colors will blend, and you will have a muddy mess. 

When the watercolors are dry, along the bottom of the card place double sided adhesive as pictured.  Cover with Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes. Edge card with wide tip gold Sharpie pen. Stamp THANK YOU with black ink on the car. Add a few gems to the card. Mount the finished panel on black cardstock and adhere to the card. 

The owl has leaves flying around the tree giving the effect of a blustery day. When the watercolors are dry. Edge card with wide tip gold Sharpie pen. Stamp THANK YOU with black ink on white cardstock and mount on black cardstock. Add a few gems to the card. Mount the finished panel on black cardstock and adhere to the card.

Owl Friends - Get Well Card Tutorial

Hello Friends,

This charming pair of innocent owls seemed the perfect choice for a get well card.  So I painted them with unexpected cheerful and bright colors.  Their cute little faces got even cuter when colored lilac and teal and definitely will be a pick-me-up for the recipient.  Let's get going and I'll lead you through the simple process for this quick card. 

(TIP: When planning a card, select the pattern paper first and then color your image to match it. It is always more difficult to color an image and then search your stash to find something that coordinates.)

Directions:
1.  Stamp the pair of owls onto white card stock with black permanent ink.
2.  Use watercolor paints to fill in the owls. After thoroughly dry, use a black colored pencil to add shading to the claws & branches.

3.  Use a black marker to color the owls' pupils.  Then apply Glossy Accents clear varnish to the owls' eyes and set aside to dry.

 

 

4.  Cut a piece of patterned paper 1/4" smaller than the card base and attach it leaving a narrow border.

5. Matte the owl pair with teal card stock and attach to the upper portion of the card using dimensional foam tape.

6. Add a sentiment to a strip of teal card stock, cut the end flag style, and adhere to the lower right edge of the card.

Anniversary Card

Hello crafting friends,

  Today we are making an anniversary card using the Owls, Nothing but Owls stamp set.  This stamp set is very versatile and can be used for making many types of cards. It is always nice to think outside the box and use a stamp for an occasion other then the obvious. (In this case an outdoor/nature card would be the obvious.)

Supplies:
  Owls, Nothing but Owls stamp set
  craft paper
  card stock
  paper doily
  embelishments
  gold thread
  alcohol markers
  die for background
  ink
  white embossing powder

To start this card, we cut out the background die four times, two in red and two in black to create the shadow affect. The first card layer measures 6"x6".  The next layer is craft paper with ink splattered on it. Then the die cut layers and the doily are added using some gold thread tucked in between the two layers.  The owl is stamped and cut out for coloring using alcohol markers.  The sentiment was embossed on the fishtail banner and slid under the wings to give the appearance that the owl is holding it up. (The wings were cut to separate them from the body to allow for this.) Lastly, a few gold embellishments were added.

Autumn's Splendor Canvas by Jenn

Hello Sin City Stampers!! Today I want to share this adorable home decor for Fall, titled "Autumn's Splendor". This is my favorite time of year with all of the falling leaves and beautiful colors. I hope this season is as inspirational to you as it is to me!

Here is how I made it...
Gather your supplies to start.

1. Small canvas
2. Black gesso
3. Background stencil
4. Spray inks in autumn colors (I used green, orange, and purple)
5. Spray inks in an array of browns and golds
6. Crackle paste
7. Iridescent spray
8. Flowers
9. Tiny pine-cones
10. Black ink pad
11. Gold ink pad
12. Clear or iridescent embossing powder
13. Heat tool
14. Pearlizing medium

Sin City Stamps : (click on pictures to purchase)

Alright! Let's get started on this fun Fall project!

1. Cover your canvas entirely with black gesso and allow to dry.

2. Using a gold ink and the stamp shown, randomly apply to dry canvas

3.Sprinkle over stamped areas with clear or iridescent embossing powder, heat set and let dry.

4. Arrange your flowers and embellishments on canvas to get an idea of how you want it to look.

5. Using watercolor paper and an array of brown and gold sprays, create a background as shown. 

**TIP:(to get the effect shown, spray ink on a craft sheet and dab your paper onto it. Start with your lightest color and continue to the darkest color one at a time and be sure to dry in between each color)

6. Stamp your owls onto the water-colored background using black archival ink. Cut out the larger owl (or whichever you choose) and set aside.

7. Use crackle paste through a background stencil all over your canvas and let the paste dry completely. You can use a heat tool to speed up drying, however allowing it to dry naturally will result in a much better crackle look.

8. Once dry, start spraying ink colors light to dark in random areas all over the canvas. Dry color before applying the next. Adding a spritz of water to sprayed color will help spread into cracks.

9.Apply a sentiment. Use a clear gluing agent to cover the sentiment area and let dry. This ensures that any more ink applied will not cover lettering.

Here are a few close-ups to show detail.

Finally, add your owl using foam dots to add depth. Add flowers and brush them lightly with a pearlizing medium. Once everything is dry, cover your owl with a small piece of plastic and spray canvas with iridescent spray! Just adds that nice shimmer!!

There you have it! A wonderful addition to your Fall decorations!! Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope that I have inspired you to get creative this colorful season! Be sure to head over to our online store to see all of the great stamps available to you!! http://sincitystamps.com/
