Watercolor Valentine's Day Owl

Today I felt like a bit of watercolor play.  I need a few more cards for Valentine's day so I thought this cute little owl would be perfect for my DIL to be.  She loves owls and this little guy was just perfect.

I stamped him with StazOn Black ink then painted him with my new Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencils.  LOVE these pencils!!!  I got them last week right before I fell so I this was the first chance I've had to play with them and are they ever fun!    The name is fitting as they are VERY intense colors...I used just a tiny bit of color and was able to paint the whole image.  Amazing.  I will be sharing more about these pencils when I can sit in my room for longer periods to show you just how they differ from other pencils.

Here is a close up of the little guy...I used the Tuxedo Black irRESISTible Pico Embellisher to outline his face, legs & eyes to give him a bit of a dimensional feel without adding any extra layers.  I love the shine (as you can see in his eyes) from the Pico.
