* Crafts Galore Encore: Autumn Owlet

Hello!

September brings another Anything Goes challenge at Crafts Galore Encore

The sponsor this month is the fabulous Fabrika Fantasy who are offering the winner 3 digistamp images. 

Fabrika Fantasy kindly gave the DT some images to work with. I chose this Autumn Owlet
Here is my project:



I coloured the owl with Copic markers and added some white Posca pen highlights. I lightly inked the background of the image with Distress Oxides in Stormy Sky and Antique Linen and added a few patches of Vintage Photo to give it a grungy look. I distressed the edges of the image card with scissors, inked them with Vintage Photo and matted onto kraft card.
The background is brayered Distress Oxides. I used a variety of colours including Picked Fence, Fossilised Amber, Spiced Pumpkin, Fired Brick and Vintage Photo. I brayered Snowflake chalky acrylic paint over the top to tone the colours down a bit. I used a Tim Holtz die to cut a pattern from the top left corner of the background. The edges of the inky background were inked with Ranger black archival ink and it was matted onto kraft card. I added some Vintage Photo ink to the kraft card under the die cut pattern so that the background was be more prominent through the holes.  
 The image was popped on foam pads and I made a paper flower using a Heartfelt Creations die and die cut some Tim Holtz foliage to make a cluster. I added some cheesecloth to the left side of the image and tucked the flower and foliage in place interspersed with some dried flowers.                                     



Many thanks to Dmitry at Fabrika Fantasy for generously sponsoring and supporting this challenge. We hope you'll pop over to the shop to see the many lovely products on sale.
