Sunday Postcard Art - Owls

Here's my entry for this weeks
Sunday Postcard Art challenge which is 'Owls'  I only own 2 owl stamps, one is this rather large beauty from Elusive Images, and the other is a cutie from Dawn Bibby.
I decided that more is more and went with the bruiser owl.
I've done the 'caught in crystal technique, which I've been meaning to do for years but never got arround to. The floor polish was still under the sink - untouched :o) I've used distress ink refills and lots of glitter. It's strange how crafting has it's 'in' thing - it used to be mandala stamps and glitter - I still have the glitter lol.
The background has been brayered and sponged, then Tim's tree and plant stamps used. I have tried to do the background in the style of Michelle Zindorf who is the brayer queen.
The glitter on the owl shows up much better in real life - just the thing for a butch old owl.
Thanks very much for looking and enjoy what's left of the weekend x

    I love this technique, although I'm not familiar with it. I guess I better do some research. Don't you wish the glitter showed more, I can't get it to show either! Nice owl!

    Oh yes, and I love chocolate too!!

    Well, this owl has to be given pride of place in dress sense and touch of superiority! He is MAGNIFICENT. I love the textures and the way he stands out from the beautiful background.
    A great artpiece. Fantastic.
