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.
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!
