This week's Etsy Inspired Challenge comes from the fabulous t-shirt designs of PutuPrincess Escapes, which is named after Putu , an adorable dog rescued from a miserable life of abuse and neglect. Her escape and enduring good nature are the inspiration for PutuPrincess Escapes.
I chose this Wise Little Owl stenciled t-shirt as my inspiration using a cute Owlie Digital Image from this week's Challenge Sponsor Some Odd Girl.
I started by using digital paper-piecing on the owl with papers from Designer Digitals. I added a frame from Spencer Nugent's Sketchy Elements Vol. 1. After printing the image, I used colored pencils on the frame's flowers and leaves.
I finished with a stamped sentiment from Hero Arts.
As always, there are some awesome prizes up for grabs if you join us for this week's challenge. One winner will get an in-stock t-shirt of their choice from PutuPrincess Escapes. Another will win thee digital images of their choice from Some Odd Girl ... make sure you check out their very fun Creatures.
Make sure you stop by the other Design Team Member blogs to check out their inspired creations & use keyword EIC113 if you upload to a gallery:
