This is for this weeks Teapot Tuesday, with the cards going out to Marie in NY. Marie has braved the effects of MS for so very long, that it's time she get some "happy mail". Marie loves owls, thus all the owl and the owl teapots.
Meet the Whoopers
There's Whoosincharge, he's on the left
In the middle is Whoodunit
And on the right is Whoocares
Now you'd think by his name that
Whoosincharge is the boss
But he really is at a loss.
Whoodunit really doesn't know
He's just handsome, it's all for show.
It's all really up to Whoocares
He's the one with the steely stares
You're in his sights, they're all aware,
The Whoopers have come to say they care.
This was a fun card to make. This is the second set of owls I did, liking these little guys better. They have been embossed many times to be nice and shiny.
They were cut out, then the un-embossed parts were colored with Prisma pencils, then I painted over these areas with the Versa mark ink, and embossed these.
I love the eyes.
The moon was done with a little ink and embossed.

Wowee, this is super fantastic! The eyes really look real. If you've even gotten to see an owl close their eyes are amazingly large and very yellow. You definitely captured it. The embossing really is a great touch. I love the nestie shape of your base card and the bright moon. Marie will smile at this one. TFS.

What a fun little poem you came up with! Your owls are just adorable! I couldn't help but notice your avitar with the hummingbird - we once rescued a hummingbird and he lived with us for a while. He would fly to land on our finger even after we released him outdoors.
