Funky Fossil Designs January 2020 New Stamp Set Release - Quirky Owls

It's new stamp release day at Funky Fossil Designs.  For this card I have used the new clear stamp set called "Quirky Owls".

For the background, I have used "Stormy Grey" Distress Oxide Ink through the Funky Fossil "Birch Forest" stencil.  I then coloured the tree trunks and branches with a light brown coloured pencil.

I then stamped the owl in flight on top of the stencilled background and also on a separate off- cut of white card, using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.  

I coloured the image on the white card using Arteza coloured pencils and a very fine tip red felt pen for the heart, bow tie and part of the wing.  I then fussy cut the owl image and adhered over the other owl shaped image using clear foam pads.

I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

Funky Fossil Designs January 2020 New Stamp Set Preview - Quirky Owls

It's an exciting week at Funky Fossil Designs as on the 25th January, they will be launching five brand new clear stamp sets.

I have used one of the new clear stamp sets to create this card, that could be used for a Valentine's or Anniversary card.

I stamped the two owls using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.  I then drew the tree branch and coloured it with an assortment of Distress Oxide Inks (Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs, Ground Espresso and Mowed Lawn).

I also coloured the owls with Distress Oxide Inks (Antique Linen, Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet, Tea Dye, Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo).

I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink and stamped the hearts using a Memento Ink called "Rhubarb Stalk".

Funky Fossil Designs January 2020 New Stamp Set Preview - Quirky Owls

If you are like me, I can't wait for new releases of crafting goodies.  Fortunately there is not too long to wait, as Funky Fossil Designs have five fabulous new clear stamp sets which will be available to purchase from 9am, this Saturday 25th January 2020.

I have created this card using one of the new Funky Fossil sets called "Quirky Owls".  These little birds are full of character and I'm sure they will be a huge hit with crafters.

I started this card by creating the background, using the Funky Fossil Stencil called "Leafy Tree".  

I actually used the tree on it's side to give the impression that the trunk was a branch for the owl to stand on.  I also repositioned the stencil twice to get branches where I wanted them to be.

I used two shades of green Distress Oxide Inks through the stencil - Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.  I then added some brown colour to the branches using an Arteza coloured pencil.

Using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink, I stamped the owl on top of the stencilled image, positioned on the branch.  I then stamped him again on a plain piece of white card.  While the Versafine Ink was out, I stamped the "You're Owlsome" sentiment which is also part of the "Quirky Owls" set.

I then painted the background using "Spun Sugar", "Stormy Sky" and "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Inks.

Returning to the owl stamped on to white card, I then coloured the image using an assortment of Distress Oxide Inks applied with a paint brush (Tea Dye, Antique Linen, Tattered Rose, Rusty Hinge and Aged Mahogany).  I decided to give some metallic gold highlights using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen on some of the feathers.
