making art

a few weeks ago i posted about Monica's owl class. genevieve was in the second group that took the class. she made a blue owl. we took some photos to put on the blog, but when Elizna came for her class the next week, she had a kit that i knew i had to use to scrap Gen's owl making!! and this is the end result! i did chop and change it a bit, but in essence it is all Ms Parsons!

i embossed the swirl with red EP, and i had to made the white dots with white paint from my paint dabber and a very fine brush - the pigment ink from my Inkssentials white pen, did not want to dry, not even after 24 hours. same with the heart that i covered with glossy accents. just for interest's sake - the heart was almost copper. i just added some burgundy palette hybrid ink to it, to get it the colour i wanted.

my title was done with WRM chipboard - COMSTOCK for those of you who still remember that ( 2007, i think!!) i painted the letters white and added the text stamping with the same burgundy ink. we often forget that we can transform our chipboard etc with a simple layer of paint, instead of running out there and buying new things! everything i used on these pages, except the paper, came from my old stash. when i told Genevieve that i was scrapping her "owl making", she told me that i really needed kids to scrap............... i agree. something i will have to work on SERIOUSLY.................xxxx
