Flowery Owl

Hi everyone, not a catchupmageddon post today, something I have finished and framed and gifted to my Mum for her 80th birthday.

This beautiful stamp is from Sweet Escape Digis and is just called "Owl".

Here is what it looks like before colouring -

And my version:

Tempted to have a go? Remember to check the Sweet Escape Facebook Group before you purchase as there is often a money-off code (40% at the moment!) and also information on freebies you will be sent when you purchase digis. As I write this there is also an additional giveaway for physical stamps that is worth checking out. All the low down! lol :D

I coloured this with polychromo pencils on white cardstock (for a change!) and it took me quite a while, I've been colouring it in between other projects. I love looking at other peoples coloured flowers but I am not so keen on doing my own, lol!

I used some white posca pen for highlights in the eyes and on the berries. I selected real flowers to use as inspiration for colouring the wreath, gerberas, sunflowers, stargazer lilies and frangipani. I similarly used real photos of owls to help with the pattern created with the feathers.

This was a 18x18cm piece so I framed it up rather than making it into a card. I used a plain white box frame from Hobbycraft. (They are half price currently.)

Thanks for joining me today, so pleased to finally finish this piece and share it with you! I hope you are tempted by it and would love to see how you get on!
