It's going to be owl-right

Stamps by Unity Stamps

Time Out Challenge - Challenge #114
Craftaholics R Us - Birds


For this card, I used my Koi watercolor paints on watercolor cardstock. I painted some blue stripes and let that dry.

I stamped the owl onto watercolor paper and colored him with the Koi watercolor paints.

I love this owl!

My first gel press card





So I have never tried making a gel press card before and I got an email from Unity Stamps the other day about how easy it was so I decided to give it a try. Then, I remembered Frugal Crafter Lindsay had made a you tube video doing it, so I watched hers too. You can see hers here.  Its fun!!

For the challenge at Inkspirational, we had to make a card in 10 minutes or less. I think it took me longer to cut out the dog than it did make the actual card but I got it done right at 10 minutes.

I made this for a friend who recently had hand surgery.

Fa La La La Llama

For this card, I used the grid technique with my Koi watercolors that I learned from the online watercolor class with Kristina Werner. I'm thinking now maybe I should've left a few spots white and not colored everything in but I have it done, so here it is ... For the llama, I used my Tombow markers to color directly onto the stamp, spritzed it with water and stamped it onto watercolor paper and let dry.
