Happy Tuesday to you all.  It's time for another challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown.  This week our sponsor is My Grafico and we are following a sketch made by the lovely Judith :)

Firstly this is the sketch:

And this is my interpretation of it using Owl 6:

The owl and the die, creates the two circles.  The branch creates the middle stripe and the two embossed panels create the top and bottom stripes.  Hope you like my take on the sketch :)

My Grafico very kindly provided the team with images from Owl Digital Stamps, and I chose Owl 6.  I printed it several times and cut each layer of the feathers out so that I could emboss them in different colours.

I used gold and copper embossing powders on each layer of the feathers which I then heat embossed.  I then layered them back over the owl.  To get a clean fit I made slits down each wing and tucked the ends of the feathers in. 

I've coloured the rest of the image with spectrum noir markers and sat the Owl on a die from Tonic to look like a branch.  This is for one of my daughters besties who absolutely adores owls so I've put it into a box frame and added a few flowers to finish it off.
