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
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.

woot woot! I LOVE it!!!
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.
wow...that should be some inspiration for her...now she will just want to become a crafter though...and remember, yu put those thoughts in her head with those great ATCs...
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!
