I just got these stamps from Jacksonbelle's store today. I saw the owl, and I knew I had to use it for the monochromatic challenge. Thank you, Michelle Zindorf for teaching us about brayering and about resist.
I stamped the owl in navy first, colored the owl and the circle with the snow flowers with a VersaMarker and embossed it with clear EP. Then, and only then, I brayered it. Okay that was the story of my third try, but it was by far the best looking owl. For the background I stamped the bird flourish in navy and the snow in VersaMark, which I then embossed with clear EP. I brayered the background piece to match the owl piece. The owl is double matted with navy.

WOWZA! This just jumped right out at me, it is stunning!! Great colors, great job on the techniques. I think Inkadinkado has the most awesome bird stamps, I may have to find this lovely snowy owl.
