Good Neighbors Owl – Tutorial #314

dsc03274_edited-1.jpg

Stampin’ Up’s sale-a-bration period will be ending March 31, 2010 so I wanted to highlight one of the free sets you can get with a $50 order.  The house in this scene is from the Stampin’ Up, Sale-a-bration set “Good Neighbors”.    This is a set that I am keeping my fingers crossed, hoping to see it in a future Stampin’ Up Catalog.  Hello, anyone out there hearing me, lol.

Anyway, I decided to team it up with the owl and tree stamp from the Stampin’ Up set “House of Haunts”.  I’m getting some mileage of out this stamp.  🙂

This tutorial also highlights how to make a window frame for your scene.  Hope you enjoy it.

Let’s get started.. … . . . . .

Added two Sahara Sand panels, one Whisper White panel and One Basic Black panel.

Added Sahara Sand Marker to the Sahara Sand panels, using the brush end.  Also added Basic Black marker to the Sahara Sand panels, not covering the Sahara sand marker completely.  This gives you an illusion of a shadow.
