Treats on Tuesday with Christine - La gâterie du mardi avec Christine

Hi everyone, Christine here with a 3D Boreal Owl on a Tag.

I first sprayed the tag with distress oxide sprays, heat setting the colours before the next one was added. I randomly stamped some images over the background then stamped the boreal owl on the tag. I used some crackle paste and a stencil to add some texture to the tag.

I stamped a second owl on a piece of card and fussy cut it out. Using a stylus out of the McGill paper shaping tool kit to give the owl a more 3D effect and popped it up on the tag with some double-sided sticky foam.

Here is how I made the owl-

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the image, then outlined the edge using a black brush pen.

In the first image you can see my dual tip stylus and foam mat, I used the large tip to go round the outer edge of the image from the back.

By going around the edge the image stands up when placed on the card.

I then used the smaller stylus and outlined the eyes, beak and branch from the stamped side.

When you turn the image over you can see where these areas are and go over them again from the reverse side. This makes the face have a 3D shape and the eyes beak and branch all stand out.

It's hard to see from this image but in real life it has so much dimension,
