My niece's birthday is coming up and I decided early on to make her an owl card. I have given her a lot of owl gifts and books and decided that it would be perfect to match this with her birthday present.
I chose a Unity Stamp Co image that is 2 years old (maybe 3?) and I loved the challenge at Retro Rubber - the sketch was perfect for a cheerful kid's card:
The owl is heat embossed on a white circle (in hindsight I think it's too big and I should probably have cut it down smaller) and then I added some punched balloons with hand-drawn strings. I added the blingy 1 for my niece as well. The backing paper is from my stash - I've had it for years and years and thought it was really fun for the card. The sentiment is die cut from a Sizzix set.
I love that little owl, I think it will go so well with the little owl gift I have planned for her present :)

ReplyDeleteThis is WAY too cute man, perfect for your Niece. The stamp is 3 years old. I LOVE the blingy number 1. Is it just me or do the flowers look like doughnuts? Thanks for joining along with my sketch this time at Retro Rubber. Cx
