There are so many animals of every shape, size, and temperament, it’s no wonder we received a variety of scenes from so many stampers celebrating their favorites! From small domestic pets to the largest land mammal, we have a glorious menagerie to share.
“Owls became my favorite animals when I was a Girl Scout,” says Pat Walsh, who created Life Happens. Her plan was to make cards for her favorite coffee aficionados. Coordinating papers and three coffee-drinking owls set her on the right path. For coloring, she started with the lightest brown, then applied the darkest.
“I colored with the medium marker near the darkest edges, and finished by going over those medium areas with the lighter marker. That way all the colored areas were blended, but distinct.”
