I made this card for Misti Monday's "Pantone" blue challenge for January 2020. I used my Misti to stamp the owls several times, so that I could make sure to get those black eyes stamped completely. I love this color blue! I also made it for The ABC Challenge letter "W" for wide-eyed owls.
I stamped and colored my owls with Copic markers, highlighted with a white gel pen and added Crystal Lacquer to their eyes. For the background sky, I colored with my B29 Copic marker, and then, lifted blue Copic color from my background using Copic Various Ink colorless blender fluid using a small piece of a wash cloth to create texture in the sky. I rounded the corners and glued this panel onto white card stock.
I used a snowflake embossing folder on blue card stock, adding white gel highlights and Stickles glitter to snowflakes. Glued all layers to my white card.

I think these guys are so cute! Great card!
I think I saw one of their friends the other day as I came home. An owl landed on the side of the road right by my home road just as I turned the corner. It was the middle of the day. I was so surprised to see him!!
