Coloring the cutest little owls!

Two more days of the 30 days of coloring challenge to make this card.  The "Five Whoots" stamp is by Art Impressions.  I tackled it with Copic markers with a touch of Gelly roll white pen on the eyes.  On the following day I stamped the background using a Lawn Fawn stamp set Gingham Backdrops with persimmon Versa Magic chalk ink.  I had no reason for chalk ink, just trying to match a color from my ink supplies.  I had tried to use my same Copic markers and spritz colorless blender before stamping, but I just couldn't make it work.  And I die cut the slider window which is also from Art Impressions.  I cut the Owls into a cute little bookmark.  Because Copic bleeds through to the back of your paper I doubled up the cardstock on the bookmark.  Even double thickness, it slid just fine. Behind the bookmark I stamped the candles and sentiment both by Penny Black.  When I try a similar card in the future, I'll try to remember to stamp something behind where the slider window will be in advance!
**Update** I just found out about Art Impressions Spring-y challenge, and I think this card is perfect for it!  Be sure to check it out here!
