The Friendly Owl

For someone who hates birds (really just ones that are flying close to my head) I seem to be making a lot of cards featuring them, aren’t I? Well it’s SU’s fault for making all these cute bird stamps.

This card doesn’t use a bird stamp per se, but a chipboard owl from the On Board So Tweet collection. I covered him in Hawaii Papaya DSP. Really, that’s only partially true. I inked the owl with Old Olive Craft ink first but messed him up while trying to apply a rub-on (the ink was still wet). Plan B was to cover him in this paper. Cute anyway! The beak is done in Tangerine Tango, the eyes in White Craft. For the eyeballs, I inked a pencil eraser with Chocolate Chip Craft ink and stamped the bottom of the hearts. As for the flower he’s holding, that is a rub-on from Bright Delights. The flower “stem” is actually the stem from the pear rub-on (also from Bright Delights).

The card base is Kiwi Kiss, with a layer of Chocolate Chip and the Hawaii Papaya patterned DSP. The Tangerine Tango oval is from the Scallop Oval Bigz die. I stamped the oval with Tangerine Tango using the Good Friend sunburst stamp.

As for the sentiment piece, it’s a lot going on for such a small space. The polka dots are a rub-on from Bright Delights on an oval Canvas Cut. I trimmed the excess canvas away after adhering the rub-on. The sentiment, “You’ve got a friend in me” is a rub-on from Bright Delights on Very Vanilla cardstock that I cut out and then attached to the Canvas Cut with a Corduroy Kiwi Kiss brad. The Chocolate Chip oval was cut using the Coluzzle and paper pierced. The Canvas Cut is attached to the Chocolate Chip oval with dimensionals and the entire piece is adhered to the card base with dimensionals also.
