This week's challenge is a sketch. I sat down with a fairly literal take on it in mind and ended up with something completely different! The idea of the sketch is still there but the three evenly sized and spaced circles have transformed themselves into a family of three owls!A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to win blog candy from the Craft Room as they launched their own challenge blog - thank you Julia! - and these Hero Arts owl stamps were part of my goody bag. Cute aren't they?
They're stamped on kraft and have just a bit of colour added with a Copic marker and their eyes done with a white gel pen.
Stamps:
You hoo owls (Hero Arts)
Paper:
Bitter chocolate and kraft
Ink:
Adirondack dye ink by Ranger (Espresso)
Other:
Sewing machine and thread
Copic markers
Corner Chomper by We R Memory Keepers
Inkssentials white pen by Ranger
Giveaway!Also in my goody bag was this 6x6" paper pad by Kars. Now regulars to my blog will know that I really struggle with patterned paper. Whatever I do with it takes an eternity and I'm rarely happy with the outcome. With that in mind, I asked Julia (owner of the Craft Room) if she'd mind if I gave the pad away - better that than have it sitting feeling lonely in a drawer! They're nice bright colours and funky patterns - some designs have a glittered version as well as the printed one.
So, if you'd like to offer the papers a new home, just let me know in a comment on this post and I will draw a name at random. Let's say comments before midnight (UK time) Sunday 4th July, shall we?
Thanks for stopping by!

Your owls are very cute. They work well on the kraft paper.
As you know, I do like a bit of patterned paper, so would happily give a home to your lonely pack of dots and lines!
This is a lovely, cute card, great owls.
Thanks for your comment and your tip about the edging.

Just think Joanne this could have been your chance to conquer patterned paper lol
What a fabulous card. I love the stamp and how you have used it - just perfect.
I could give a nice home 'in the sunshine' to your papers. They would be great on cards for our Grandsons and ever increasing number of youngsters in the family!
Take care. Love Sheila x
Such a great interpretation of the sketch! The colours you used are perfect for the theme and I adore your family of owls.
