Otterly great Easter!

This is the batch of otterly great Easter cards I made to send to family and friends. I used the MFT Otterly Love You set. I actually got it second hand but it didn't appear to have been used at all! 

Each card had a banner using stencils and distress oxides. Each one was different.

I coloured the otters with copics and added a little creme eggs to their paws.

( E31, E33, E35, E53, E57, E93)

Popped on some highlights with white posca pen, and also made their eyes bigger with black pigment pen so I could easily add some white glints to them. And gave them glossy accent noses!

I made my own greeting in Segoe Script so I could theme to be suitable for Easter! It was nice to make some cute cards just for me to use, been a while since I have done that.

The Otter

Annabel here! (Cross posted to Crafty Magic)

This year an Otter and family have decided to inhabit the River Severn in Bridgnorth and everyone has seen it but me!

My friend's partner has seen it numerous times when crossing the bridge so she ordered an otter themed card for his 50th birthday!

Allegedly the otter seems to wave as he drifts passed you..(He is rather tame.)...so this Otter waves with his left paw when you move his tail.

I painted the otter pieces using acrylic paints as it seemed the fastest option to get what I wanted. The background is a scanned marbled background that Helen and I made on one of our "mess and make background" days. And I wish I could remember where I got the bubble embellishments from... they were the last ones I had and they are perfect for watery images!
