Adorable Owl Valentine

Hello All

Today I have a card that will be given to a sweet little girl. I brought together two challenges, some cute patterned paper and an adorable owl. The sketch for my card is from TGIF Challenges #403. TIC-Tac-Toe Challenge #192 inspired the elements I picked for the card. I used the top row of elements for my card; vellum, hearts and embossing.

I started by cutting a 5 1/2" by 4 1/4" piece of Petal Pink Country Floral Lane DSP and glued that to a Sweet Sorbet card base. I cut a 4 7/8" by 2 3/4" piece of the Sweet Sorbet DSP and glued that to the card front.

I used the Stitched rectangle dies to cut the white cardstock and used the Gingham embossing folder (ret) to add texture. I used the Heart Pack punch to cut a heart from Vellum. I glued the rectangle and the heart to the card front.

The Adorable Owl was stamped with black ink onto white cardstock. I colored the owl with Smoky Slate, Pumpkin Pie and Balmy Blue blends. The owl was fussy-cut and attached to the heart with dimensionals. I used the smallest heart from the Give it a Whirl dies to cut out a Sweet Sorbet heart. It was glued to the owl's wing.

The sentiment from the Catching Butterflies stamp set (ret) was stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink onto white card and I flagged the ends. This was attached with dimensionals and I added a Sweet Sorbet Baker's Twine bow.
