Well, Christmas is over and I am done playing with my holiday images. Let's start with This wonderful little owl by Stampendous. I have to admit I've never been a big owl fan. Seriously, anything that can turn its head all the way around freaks me out a bit. But, this little gentlemen is so sweet and versatile. I've combined him with a few stamps to create a framed art piece.

I first stamped the Steampunk Owl with archival ink in black. Then the smaller pine bushes from Pinecone Boughs also in archival black. I flash dried it with my heat gun and then embossed the large pine needles with detailed gold. Don't worry about going over the top of your already stamped images, you'll want to give your project dimension. I used distressed inks to chalk in the color. Chalking with distress inks is a quick way to color an image...it does take practice :) The red flowers I embossed with detail gold and smushed them a lot to break the fibers down and distress them. Now comes adding all the goodies!
Thanks for visiting today!
see you next time -Rhea

Love all the details on your projects! Fun embellishments and textures.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!
Your tag is terrifc, and what I can read of your blog text, sounds like your step-by-step is great! I'm not able to view the whole page.
These are great! Love how you've gotten so much texture and depth here!
This is a fantastic project. The owl stamp is super but all the little doo dads go right along with the steampunk theme. Great job.

I had the same difficulty reading your post as another commenter--the sidebar kept moving to an area that blocked the wording, but I got the gist of it, I think. The owl is great on your projects and I love your additional doo dads :-D
Coloring is just absolutely stunning! Lovely! Thank you!!
