For my card I used dies and punches in combination. As long as I have owned this little owl punch from Stampin' Up, I have never used it yet. I pulled it out for this challenge as I need a birthday card for my middle daughter and she loves owls. I was going through some of my older cards recently and realized I hadn't done a shadowbox card in a while; the owl is perched on a branch outside of his home in the tree. The cardstock I used is cream colored although it comes out very white in the photo. The interior I used kraft.
I used a 1 1/2" circle punch to make the hole for his tree home and a petite scallop circle spellbinders die for his wings. I have a wee flower punch from I don't know where that I used for the pom pom on top of his party hat, and I combined the owl with the Everyday Button Bits set from Papertrey Ink so he could have a bouquet of balloons to hold. Thanks for looking and we hope you can play along this week.
Stamps: Everyday Button Bits (Papertrey Ink), Turning a New Leaf
Ink: Kiwi Kiss (SU), black
Paper: PTI off white and kraft, chocolate and random DP
Other: eyelets, chartreuse ribbon, SU owl punch, PTI buttons, PTI woodgrain impression plate, spellbinders die, small flower punch

Peggysue...this is stinkin' cute...way adorable. I've always loved that punch...what a cute card it made in the hands of a very talented artist!!! Very sweet.
Wowsa! Now this is just adorable! I love everything about it. That is one cute punch and it made an awesome owl. Your daughter will love it! Have a great week!
Ps - This is so cute!! I love owls too. And that is only recent. This past winter my daughter and I were driving home at about midnight. 4 deer crossed the road in front of me so I came nearly to a stop. While I was creeping along my daughter saw the owl in a tree watching us. Being me I rolled down my window and proceeded to talk to him for a couple minutes before putting up the window and heading for home! (And that was BEFORE the head injury ;) lol) My children are used to such silly things thankfully :) You did a great job with all the punches! Bravo!!
Blessings,
Michelle
I live this card!! Tom saw an owl while standing on the back deck...it just swooped in and apparently hadn't seen him...he was very impressed. Happy birthday to your daughter, too!

Such a cute card. All the elements look so nice together. Glad owls are "in" again.
Hi PeggySue! That owl is SO cute! I've never seen that punch before. And I've never seen a "shadowbox" card either! Very interesting! I might need instructions! Have a great weekend!
