Hello Friends, It’s me again. Today I have a super quick post because our internet is down. Such a bummer.
If you watched my “The Essentials” Video you saw this sweet owl from SRM Press. I shared with you that I used Enamel Accents and Glossy Accents on his eyes. I love what Tim Holtz’s “Doily Stencil” did for the background.
I clipped his wing to fit in a handmade envelope. If I had thought of it earlier it would be cool to put a note inside the envelope!
Let me tell you… you all have really been inspiring me each day with your art. I need to try and comment on the cards etc that are linked up on my blog. I don’t want you to think I am not looking and admiring because I am! 🙂 Thank YOU!! Also thanks for your visit this weekend. See you Monday. Hugs, Kathy

Hi Kathy, he’s a beauty… and I love that you have popped-up his wing to add an envelope! your colouring is as flawless as ever. I’m interested in the blending solution you mentioned back on day one. What is this please? Do you know if it can it be used with all alcohol markers? Thanks, Jo x
Blending solution is a Copic product for the 0 copic marker. You can purchase a 0 marker, small refill and or a bottle of copic colorless blender solution from Simon Says.There are many things you can do with The “0” marker other than correct mistakes but it also can be used for texture, softening shadows etc. There are many you tubes to watch for techniques. I haven’t used this solution with other alcohol markers but I’d try it. A Dove Blender will not work and rubbing alcohol won’t either. Hope this helps. 🙂
I’m loving your challenge Kathy. Today’s owl is super stunning. What a great idea.
I remember seeing this sweet card in your Essentials video. Love the fun addition of the envelope. Hope your Internet will be up again soon. I wouldn’t know what to do without it, since I rely on it for my work and income.

He’s fabulous Kathy!
Love this! I especially like the details on the wings- is that white pen I see there on the detail?) Great work!
That owl is gorgeous. I love the detail in his feathers, and the way you added the white accents. That is a cute little envelope he’s carrying, too.
FABulous art piece!!!!!!!
Amazing!
Kathy, that owl is absolutely A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!! ♥
Very cute Kathy!! TFS!! 😀
OH MY KATHY!!! WHAT GORGEOUS COLORING you have done with this owl! He looks all FREATHERY!!!! 😉 I LIKE your idea of putting a little note inside the little envelope too. SUPER JOB!!!! (I haven’t forgotten about jumping in. SO MANY THINGS coming up here… I’ll keep working on it! 😉 )
love what you did with the wing!
The owl is awesome! Learning so much!
This is such a cute owl. Kathy, you have also been an inspiration! I see that you try to comment on the IG posts and interact with all of the challenge participants. You ROCK!!!
Happy Sunday!!!
Oh, how darling. I love that owl and I see you added your famous white dots. Love ’em. I never think to use a stencil for backgrounds. I need to put that on my to do list.
Hi Kathy, I hope you are enjoying your weekend??? Is it day 7 ALREADY? I am still colouring each day. I am not on Instagram nor do I have a blog but I am enjoying this just the same. (I am sure I am NOT the only one NOT on Instagram or with a blog, yet still colouring? LOL) Anyway, I am keeping up with watching your lovely work/posts! Enjoy the remainder of your weekend!
That owl is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous owl Kathy, it’s so weird, I did my owl that I sent you on IG before I saw your post, like I’m following your lead! The butterflies you did DID inspire me, but the owl I sent is a color book image I found online and just printed. Thanks for the challenge, hopefully your internet comes back up soon!
Love your owl. I shared with my younger daughter too – she adores owls. Looks like I need to add more of this little critters to my collection!
Love this card! The detail on this owl is amazing! I love how you colored the feathers on his forehead, really neat! And having him carrying an envelope is so creative! Great job. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
