Meet Oswald, a New Hooter!

We all know Owls are one of the latest crazes among the stamping world. Did you see the new owl image from DRS Designs?

Let me introduce you to Oswald the Owl!

I created this fun card to make it look like he was up in the trees. Do you get this effect?

I created the background by stamping the Pine Tree image, alternating one up, one down using both dark & light Olive green ink. Then, I filled in the trees with chalk. I used a decorative corner punch on each of the four corners and matted it with dark green cardstock. I added 4 copper brads in each corner for a little contrast.

Oswald was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol. I used my Nesties to cut him out and mat him. I created the polka dots with a brown Zig marker. I tied dark brown ribbon and orange & olive green ribbon together in a knot & wrapped it around the front of the pine tree background. I used foam tape to adhere Oswald on top of the pine tree background.

I had an itching to use my sewing machine on this card. I haven't used it in a while & figured I should make it a point to use it if I can. So, I did! I sewed a horizontal line at the top & bottom portions of a lime green cardstock panel that I placed behind the pine tree background. It's definitely different, but I really like the look!
