Owloween!






Hey everyone! I finally was able to open up the card kit my friend picked up for me at Archievers. It came with a cute set of owl clear stamps with Halloween sentiments, a 6 x6 pad of designer paper, orange stickles, jeweled tape, wiggle eyes and some cardstock.  I have been looking forward to playing with this.  I saw the owl stamps and just had to have it.  I am obsessed with anything owl related! I cut the orange skull paper and fitted it to some black card stock.  This is a mini card measuring 4 by 6 inches.  The smallest card I have worked with yet.  I stamped the owl image on the orange paper first in black ink.   I stamped the same owl image on the mini pumpkin paper and the black chevron paper and fussy cut around each of them.  I then paper pieced them together.  My first time with paper piecing! So much fun. I stamped and fussy cut the boo sentiment that came with the kit.  I used a 1 inch circle punch to make the moon piece.  I added a line of the tape that also came in the kit along the bottom.  I used some orange and purple gems along the bottom from my stash to bling up the card a bit.  There are some orange stickles around the wiggle eyes.  I had so much fun making this card! More owl cards to come from the kit in different variations! I want to exchange some Halloween cards this year so hopefully this card will be enjoyed! I am always up for exchanging of cards. Isn't that so much fun?

Hugs,

Erin
