Owl only have eyes for you...

How corny is my title?  Pretty sad but I bet it either brought a smile, made you giggle, or you slapped your forehead in amazement of the corniness.  But anyway, have you signed up for my blogoversary candy??  I'm not getting very many comnments so the odds are pretty good for you to win.

So, on to my card.  I realized that I had a virgin stamp set! Oh my gosh!  A set that's not seen the ink of day! (Time to slap your forehead again.) This cute little set is a Hostess level A set, yours free with a qualifying order of $30 (before tax and shipping). The paper is retired Amelia (which I'm trying to use up).


Isn't this little guy just so cute!!  I colored him and the ribbon with Copic markers.






Here's a closeup of the little guy and my flower.  I punched 2 sizes of flowers, the Extra Jumbo and the Super Jumbo flower punches, scrunched the paper, opened  then sanded for a distressed look. I added the button and Copic-colored white scrappers floss (discontinued by manufacturer).  If you look into the owl's eyes you will see a little glimmer from a black glitter pen.  I just had to give him a little sparkle.

I LOVED the Title and thought OMG how original is this. I have the same owl and again he remains a "virgin" - going to have to fix that soon. Great card and love the flowers.

this is too cute. And I probably like it much more right now as I saw another similar owl done as punchies with a nurse's hat on for a get well card. And I have to do a bunch of get well cards! Thanks, just might have to get this guy!
