Hello! I’ve had this set for a while now and I finally took the time to use it. I needed a birthday card for one of my brothers and out of ALL the cards I have (and I have a LOT of cards), none were really right for him.
Let’s Celebrate
I used U R A Hoot from the Kim Hughes Collection at Cornish Heritage Farms. It’s basically an owl/graduation set, but there are birthday and even Christmas pieces too. It’s a really fun set!
You can’t see it here, but I lightly stamped the paper behind the owl with the Burlap backgrounder. I stamped all the pieces onto vanilla cardstock, watercolored and then pieced together on the bluish solid “patterned” paper. The puff on the hat and the owl’s claws are both raised on pop dots. For some additional dimension, I only glued the owl’s body and then placed a little pop dot under each wing. Once everything was together, I used a couple of gray Copic markers to add some shadow and depth.
The paper is from Basic Grey’s new Archaic paper pad. (I got mine from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.)
Thanks so much for visiting! Have a great Wednesday!
