today i broke out my denami design stamps for a theme challenge they're having this week: animals! and it just so happens that the only stamps i have from them are owls, so it works out perfectly!
i *almost* used colored pencils to color the owls, but then i went to my old standby, and paper-pieced instead. oh well! i like how bright and vibrant the patterned papers look against the black!
all of the owls and balloons are popped up for dimension, and there's even more popped-up-action because the base that the scene is on, is also popped up from the rest of the card. :)
i used my circle punch to create the balloons. the sentiment was stamped from the 'sentiment sampler' from paper smooches (another fabbie stamp company in my opinion!).
well that's it! i hope the card made you think cheery thoughts, if nothing else!
enjoy!
Oh, I just LOVE this card, Samantha! Love the paper pieced owls- they are simply adorable! Also the "balloons" you create are darling!
