Owl Baby Girl Card

How can a Halloween stamp set be used for a baby girl card?

Easy!

I paper pieced this adorable owl with pink chevron patterned paper (Ivy Lane, CTMH) and let her peek through a hold punched out of a wood-grain embossed pieces of Crumb Cake cardstock (SU).  I love how she turned out!

Supplies used:
Sentiment: wood-mount stamp from Michael's, source unknown
Owl: What a Hoot (CTMH)
Ink: Black
Smoothie baker's twine (CTMH)
Woodgrain embossing folder (SU)

Inks: StazOn ink for the vellum, Memento black ink for tree

Cardstock: Chocolate, Bamboo, Timberline patterned paper (all CTMH); vellum (SU)

Fox Hole Card


How cute is this little fox in the tree?!  I put to use my wood-grain embossing folder, this time directly embossing the card front.  Then I punched a 2 1/2 inch circle using my Marvy punch

The fox is stamped using the Wild About Love stamp set (CTMH) in sunset ink.  To make the fox stand out a bit, I outlined the image with a black archival fine-tipped pen.  The flower was colored with a my watercolor pencils.

Sentiment is from Say it in Style stamp set (CTMH) stamped in black ink.


Love!!
