Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Smoky Slate Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pool Party Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 5" of small gray and white plaid design from Gingham Cottage 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 3 pieces each 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1/2" x 5" from Basic White Cardstock
Adhere the piece of Gingham Cottage Designer Paper to the bottom of the horizontal Pool Party rectangle so there is 1/8" of Pool Party showing on the bottom, left, and right edges.
Adhere the Pool Party rectangle to the front of the Smoky Slate card.
Mount the flying owl image from the Adorable Owls Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the three larger white rectangles, remembering to re-ink the stamp each time.
Place the stamped flying owls on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Light and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color in the owls' eyes, beak, and feet.
Use the Light and Dark Smoky Slate and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends to color in the rest of the owls as desired. Leave their bellies white and leave the faces on a couple of them white.
Use the Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends to color in the area between the owls' feet.
Use the Color Lifter Stampin' Blends as needed to remove excess color.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the owls by hand.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the three owl cut outs on the front of the card above the designer paper to figure out spacing and placement. Once happy, adhere the owls on the left and right sides flat using Stampin' Seal and use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the owl in the center.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin white strip into the left side of the punch (the side of the punch with the small, rounded scallops) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat on the other end.
Mount the "hoot! hoot! you're so cute" sentiment from the Adorable Owls Set on Block G. Ink up only the "hoot! hoot!" words using the side of the brush tip of the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the punched white strip. Re-ink the words with the marker, breathe on them, and stamp them to either side of the first words on the punched white strip. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Adhere the punched sentiment strip to the front of the card so it is centered over the top edge of the designer paper.
