Day 3 of 31 Days of Halloween

It's the third day for the Smeared Ink 31 Days of Halloween.  This an amazing blog hop where you can win great prizes by following the blog roll of the 2015 Wicked Bloggers.

3 ATCS for Day 3

This seems to be a common story for me: I'm working on what I would consider a first draft with intentions of improving the design as I go - but only to think when all is created my first run was my favorite one!  That's what happened with these owl ATCs.  I thought I was doing the same thing, but each turned out differently.


I created a quick background with the winemakers marks in purple, then stamped some speckles in orange around the edge.  Then I stamped the tree rings and put that grouchy owl on top. I went around the edges with a brown gelato and smeared and smudged again to create a dirty frame.  Then I stamped BEWARE just to make sure it was spooky enough.

Hope you follow along and enjoy the Halloween creations created by the other Wicked Bloggers (BLOG ROLL TO THE RIGHT!)

    the middle one seems to have the best coloring.
    The other two seem to have darker areas around the wings.
    they're all great - I wouldn't refuse if I was offered one of them.
    thanks for sharing.

    Beware! The owl is a woodpecker, and chopped that tree down by himself
