Happy Owl
I made this card for the featured Stamper challenge Sunday before last.
The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 6″ of textured River Rock cardstock folded in half.
I piece of Chocolate chip cardstock was adhered to the bottom after I scalloped it with the Slit punch.
I taped a 5/8″ x 6″ piece of Groovy Guava Prints Designer Paper over it and tied Double Stitched Soft Sky Ribbon above that. I paper pierced a border over the ribbon and under the Groovy Guava Prints Designer paper and added 1/16″ holes in the center of the scallops.
The owl from Just Celebrate was stamped on a 1 3/4″ x 2″ piece of Shimmery white with Brown Palette Ink. I colored the image with Soft sky, Chocolate Chip, River Rock and Groovy Guava ink and Aqua Painter. The cardstock was layered on a slightly bigger piece of Soft Sky cardstock and a sponged and paper pierced of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added white highlights with my gel pen.
I stamped the sentiment of the stamp over the paper pierced row on the River Rock base with River Rock ink.

Can you help me? I’m been admiring the long cards people are doing (I esp. like your owl card!), but I’m just not sure what the measurements of those cards are and where do you get envelopes that fit it?

What a cute little owl! Love the rows of contrasting colors on the bottom!

Aw, he’s adorable! I am *hoping* this set makes it to the next catty - just for the owl, lol! Thanks for setting me straight a few days ago about the cherries (you think I might READ the entry before I comment?). Anything like that I see right now I’m thinking is Tart & Tangy.

Love that owl! Can’t get my head round the elephant in that set though. I love all your details - I must try harder to use more of them… I usually just stick at one.
