Flying Through the Aspens

I'm excited to show you another card featuring the Adorable Owl stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration flyer.  This is card three of a series of cards I'm sharing with you using this stamp set, and there are more to come.

For today's card I wanted to feature the owl in flight, and I thought what better way to display it than if it was flying through the trees.  

How cool is that?  I combined the owl image with the Aspen Die and Fancy Flora Designer Paper from the new Mini Catalogue.  The Aspen Tree Dies which were  originally bundled with the Perched on a Tree stamp set in the holiday mini, were carried over has been carried over into the new catalogue.

Fancy Flora 6 x 6 DSP pack 

The card base is an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and is scored at 4 1/4".  I adhered a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of the Fancy Flora papers that had a mixture of Soft Succulent and Highland Heather design for the next layer.  

For the final layer on the card front I die cut the Aspen Die from the center of a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Whisper White and then embossed this piece with the Timber Embossing Folder. Before adhering it to the card base I used a sponge dauber and some Crumb Cake ink and added some colour to the tree trunks to bring out the texture.  The Owl was mounted with dimensionals.  

I finished off the card front with a small sentiment "Hoot! Hoot!" stamped in Evening Evergreen and mounted on a small piece of Evening Evergreen card stock.  I cut the sentiment "Hoot! Hoot! You're So Cute" into three pieces to give me more flexibility when using it.  

For the inside of the card I began with a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Soft Succulent card stock.  I cut a 3/3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White for the next layer and then added a 1" x 3 3/4" strip of the DSP along the bottom. 

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from a retired stamp set called Perennial Birthdays and the "It's your Day" is from the Adorable Owls stamp set.  Both were stamped in Soft Succulent ink. I couldn't resist adding the little owl with the bow tie to the bottom right corner.    

I hope you've enjoyed today's birthday card and how I've combined it with designer paper and a die to give it a whole new look.  

Happy Stamping!
