born in a barn?

Hello my lovelies - thanks so much for all your comments on yesterdays post and shows - I will put the bowl on a post soon - it certainly seemed popular!

Last Saturday I managed to get to the show at Leigh and bought myself a few new stamps - like I need any! Anyway, here's what I have made with the Barnowl set from HobbyArt.


He really is a super image - the grasses all came with him and I masked him before stamping them.  I had also masked the moon and completed the background using stencil brushes at this point! The final thing I did was the painting which I did using distress inks as water colours, and last of all stamp the verse from Alison Bomber at paperartsy.


Here's a closer look - such a fine owl!.

I should like to enter this into sirstampalotchallenge march-challenge.


Here are my goodies from Leigh - I have used the JOFY stamps already too - but the Kay Carley stencil hasn't been used yet - nor the lovely zini!!!

Hope you are having a good day - I am off out for a run (more of a shuffle actually) but its all good!

Big hugs

Rachel xx

  10. A Stunning card with that gorgeous Owl Rachel and it's absolutely perfect for our 'Forest Friends' theme at Stamping Sensations challenge, many thanks for sharing.

    That bowl was beautiful, star of the show I think. Actually got to watch the shows live as been poorly this week, hence a tad late complimenting you.
