This is for Jenn's fun technique challenge - hand drawn lines. The lines around the border are hand drawn and so the owls legs. The little owls started out life as a small Unity Stamps rubber stamp, their legs are less than half an inch long. Before stamping the owls, I masked their shoes with a bit of washi tape, and then I masked their bodies and legs and just stamped their shoes leaving a 4" gap.
Using a micron pen, I drew lines for their new legs. The owls were coloured with Tria markers then I rubbed some walnut stain over them to take the super bright look away. I did a rough fussy cut of the owls, purposely leaving a bit of card showing around their bodies.
The background is the usual smack & squirt technique (smack distress ink pad onto al foil, squirt on water and using a foam blending tool, scrub the inky water onto the cardstock, add a bit more colour without adding water). Flick water on sky and let it air dry. Spritzed water on grassy area and air dry.
A little bit of foliage was added, some white spots and dots with a white Sharpie paint pen, doodled border and inked edges with walnut stain. Job done. I was away last week, we had a great time but I missed this!!
Thank you for looking, hope you have a happy week.

A great fun card Susie. Hope those Owl Girls stop growing soon - otherwise it will cost heaps for leggings to keep them warm - specially now with this horrid East Coast Low blowing a gale. Keep Warm.

Not sure how I missed the notification on this cute owl pair - maybe because I was away last weekend, but it needed to be seen, so here I am!!
Loved the description of how you "lengthened" Sally and her friend's legs - sure sound better than stretching them out on a rack!! The BG also has your"signature" look that amazes me every time I see it!! Cool card!!
