The image was stamped in black ink and heat embossed in clear. Zigs were used to watercolour the image ... they do have such bright, clean colours. To finish, little details were added (pink cheeks, sparkle on the fur cuffs and pompoms, and gloss for the owl's noses and heart on the small stocking). It was then cut to size with a wonky stitched frame and snow was added by heating Frantage Chunky White enamel with my skillet. A cute sentiment was stamped at the bottom. Afterwards I thought ... "do owls tweet??!!" Probably not, oh well. Hopefully no one notices. :)

I think your snowstorm works perfectly with these adorable owls and stockings, Loll! Beautiful watercoloring with your Zigs, too...I love all the fun, bright colors :) Super cute Christmas card ~ Barb xx
ReplyDeleteLove these owl images and such a beautiful card, Loll! Owls are part of the bird family so whether your sentiment is perfect. XX
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable image and your coloring is perfectly done! I don't think you can overdo Frantage for winter- at least by Ohio standards so it's just fine. Thanks for the reminder to pull my Zigs out again and get the dust off of them. Your shading is fantastic, Loll!
ReplyDeleteAww, your snowy owls are simply adorable, Loll. I don’t think there’s too much snow. It’s a lovely snow day. Beautiful Zig watercolouring as always. And love the frantage. xx
ReplyDeleteOMG Loll, so cute, now i have to check my stash, I have some wild rose owls. such a fun card :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's too much snow - it looks great! Love all the shades of blue and green. A fabulous card!

This is adorable and so sweet! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute scene with the owl family. I love the sweet baby. It's a good thing they are bundled up with hats and scarves since they are in a blizzard! I love their cold, pink cheeks. I'm not political but I say if Trump can tweet, owls can tweet!
ReplyDeleteYour owls are adorable and I love this snowy scene! The baby owl in the stocking is super adorable! Perfect sentiment!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable - a special Christmas card for sure! Super fun too. Hugz
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, love, love, LOVE this image and your snowy Christmas coloring! Funny about the tweeting owls! I saw birds and "tweetings" and it didn't even register that they were owls. It's clear as a bell now. I like the idea of owls tweeting. Maybe the babies tweet. Anyway... your card is just as cute as can be!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Love your colouring!

What a fabulous image, so adorable and loving the snow storm! Such pretty colouring and tweeting is good for me for the owls x
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with everyone Loll - an adorable little family of owls - a lovely Christmas stocking panel for your card
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing cuter than a family of owls, Loll, unless one is peeking from a stocking and the rest have winter hats on.
ReplyDeleteYes, this bird family is very sweet. You beautifully colored the picture and the addition of white spotting looks perfectly
