Sweet Stampin' - Shaped Card

Good morning to you all.

Well, it's here again ---- it's Sweet Stampin' time and the theme this week is Shaped Card.  I had such a fab time making my card this week and there was no colouring required - just stamping and cutting out. I just love this owl it's such a cutie - and even better it was a magazine freebie. There's another owl in the set so I might have a go at making a boy owl next time a suitable challenge comes up....so watch this space.

 

 

Here's What I did

I made my card base by folding a piece of card in half, then placing my scalloped circle die slight over the folded edge and then die cutting it. Because I don't like to see the flat fold edge of the card, I die cut another single scalloped circle and I glue it over the top of front of the card.  I die cut 2 circle mats one from Kraft card, and the other from coloured card on which I stamped my base image; both mats were then attached them to the card front.  To add a little detail I penned faux stitching around the edge of the coloured mat. The owl and branch were stamped several times onto different coloured cardstock all from the same pad, I then cut out the sections I wanted, and glued them in place on the base image. To finish off I added die cut clouds, glossy accents to her eyes and punched out stars.  If you find the information about how I made my card base confusing, leave me a comment and I post pictures of how I did it.

Here's everything I used:

Stamp: Woodware 'Owls' - Crafting Magazine Feebie

Paper/Cardstock (CS): White CS, Kraft CS, Trimcraft 'What A Hoot' Paper Pad

Dies: Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities 'Scallop Circle', Tonic Layering Dies 'Circle', Joy! 'Clouds'
