Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hey, Hey, Hey- Happy Monday!

Not gonna beat around the bush this am, I am wanting to share some cuteness with you and here it is:

Yep, it is so cute it hurts me!   I just love that owl and I had a ton of fun making this card.  I suppose you might want to know how… and we’ll get to that in just a moment, but first…. EEP- CUTIE!

OK, OK, here is how I did it:

• I started with my image, as always, from the Waffle Flower Be Her stamp set, and colored it using my Copics.  Once done, I added some white highlights with my gel pen, cut him out and set him aside.
• I got out my kraft CS and cut it to size, then ran it through with a woodgrain embossing folder.  Then I came back and used my Trinity Blendability Brushes and Vintage Photo Distress Ink to add a bit of color depth
• I wanted to use my new Poppy Stamps Whittle Oval wood frame die, so I die cut that in dark brown CS.
• Die Cutting with various green CS from SU! I added leaves using Saavy dies, placing them around the tree hole and around the top to look like a tree trunk.
• I added the sentiment from Ellen Hutson’s Backyard Birds on green then mounting it on blue to pull out all the colors.
• I mounted it all on this SU! Kiwi cardstock.

Thanks for the visit and you can head to my blog for a full list of supplies. 🙂

Enjoy your Monday!
