I had a dream...An owl with a rocket pack!! And, where do you suppose he lived?? In a metallic tree. Of course! Where else would a Steampunk Owl live??? This fun image is from the creative mind of Di Davies at Blockheads Stamps: the new set Fringe Folktales.
Materials List:
Blockhead Stamps
Fringe Folktales
Botanical Silhouettes - Circle border
Victorian Inventions - gears
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento
Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Distress Markers
Stickles - Gold and Silver
Metallic gold paper
Various scraps of ribbon and lace
A Tree Embossing Folder
Stamp the Owl with black ink and lightly distress with Vintage Photo. I shaded and colored with my new Distress Markers. Cut out the Owl.
To make the tree dry emboss a piece of metallic gold paper. "Paint" the limbs with gold Stickles and the leaves with silver. Stamp the Circle Border on the left side. Stamp again on a piece of brown paper and tear into small pieces. Glue down over the stamping.
Stamp the clock from the Victorian Inventions stamp and cut out the small dial. Attach the dials to the tree with glue dots.
Add a bunch of fibers. Layer with green metallic and Teal CS. Stamp the Owl again for the inside.
