Michael Strong Owl Blog Hop

I stamped the owl image on cream card stock and colored with Distress Ink markers.  I used liquid pearls to enhance the image.  The ovals are cut with spellbinders' dies.  I used Inka-Gold Gold paint on the scalloped oval.  After the paint was applied and dry. I buffed it to produce a high shine.  I also used same watered down Inka-Gold to paint the owl.  The oval with the owl image is pop dot to add dimension.

Please leave a comment on all of the blogs in the hop if you want a chance to win a MS Owl stamp.  A winner will be selected  and announced on February 10th on Hetty's Blog.  http://craftchaos.blogspot.com
