I started by painting a light blue background with a stiff, bristle-y brush to get a rough, rustic look, then painted over it again with white. Then I just pieced together the owl families with scrapbooking paper I had, and used white paint and black puff paint for the eyes.
Then I mod podged the whole with several layers, and it gave the paper a really nice, rich glossy look. The stars and moon were a later addition, I didn't like the negative space I was left with, and that was my solution.
You'll have to let me know what you think... I'm planning on hanging it in the new peanut's room, once I get it all sorted out how it's going to look... If I ever get to that point.
Loves,
