OPUS GLUEI - Challenge #114 - Owl Always Love You


Poobah Electra has challenged us with OWL ALWAYS LOVE YOU this fortnight over at the Order of the OPUS GLUEI.

I took a few of my owl stamps (Yes! I have more.) And made a set of ATC's to commemorate my oldest daughters quest for her future vocation. She has decided that she wants to become an Athletic Trainer. I have decided that she will probably change her mind. A few times. SO, I made a few ATC's that represent me. I wanted to show her the diverse choices available to her. And I told her how I changed my mind several a few times. Too deep for you? Nah.

I used some yellow cardboard with a very thin white detail almost like chicken wire. You can see it barely if you tilt your head to the right and squint. (It's what worked for me.) Then I stamped. And stamped.  And then I added a few details. And then popped those owls right on top.

These are terrific - the colors, the layers and textues all work WONDERFULLY!

What I also love is the backstory that inspired these, you're supportive of your daughter and you're also encouraging her to explore all the options. That's also WONDERFUL.

You're such a terrific mom, a great friend, and a fab crafter!

These are AWESOME, Jana! It's so nice to see you work with paper again. (Paper told me it missed you) My girl decided she was going to be a rancher. Then she decided she was going to be a police officer. Then she decided she was going to be a social worker. Then she decided she was going to be a teacher. So I get it. IU totally get it.

These are so friggin' adorable Jana! Love the colors, too! I've been enjoying your quilting posts as well, even though I don't comment as often as I used to!
