Fringe Owl Card


ETA: better photos at the end and supply list

After cleaning up my craft space I came across this fringy, delightful trim and immediately thought of the beautiful color combo at The Play Date Cafe.


I also thought of the super fun card from Julia Stainton at CASE Study this week (which I'm new to):


And came up with this guy.


He's similar to an earlier owl card I did with paper feathers, and always thought it would be fun to play with a little more texture. Ribbon would be great. Or torn material strips. Anything you can make into a loop and line up along Scotch tape.


 I wasn't sure what to make the eyes out of, and then noticed the huge burlap flower on the inspiration card. Of course! Burlap eyes. These are die cut with the PTI circle dies. I don't have the shade of pink I wanted to match the fringe, so I die cut white paper and colored it with a pink alcohol marker.


It's pretty fun to feel all the "feathers" on this guy. 

Thanks for looking!
-Kelly

Supplies used: 
stamps:  PTI Mehndi Medallion
dies: PTI Limitless Layers 1 3/4" Circles, PTI Banner Builder, small circle punch 
other: Fringe Ribbon, Burlap, Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

  3. This is just adorable. I pinned the first one, thinking to make it, and haven't gotten to it yet. This one is just as cute, and will be pinned with his cousin. Such a great idea, and very fun take on the inspiration card.

You could seriously sell these adorable owls!! I would put this sister on my desk to make every day a bright one no matter what's going on around me! Awesome!
