Sweet Stitched Owl




Most of you would know me as a stamper and colourist, but today’s die set from The Cat’s Pajamas is so darn adorable that I want to use it all the time!  I had such fun making today’s design.  Its called Stitched Owl and it totally makes my "sweet-O-meter" sing!  I mean, just look at that little face!  

I found inspiration for this design with this little bit of patterned paper I had in my stash.  I knew I could mimic the owls in the paper for this one and it would be adorable.  All it took was a couple of shades of yellow cardstock, a bit of peach for his claws and beak, and a heart die from TCP’s Square Stamps CutUps Die. I placed him on a frame using the Scalloped Duo Die.   


To keep with the heart theme, I added the pretty heart border from TCP.  And to accent the sweet little head of the owl, I used a yelllow felt die cut flower from TCP’s NEW Stitched Tree.  It adds just the right touch of texture and softness.  I used a black multi-liner in the eyes to give them some sparkle.  Just that little white oval highlight in the eyes ties it in to the background paper and brings her to life.  


The pretty sentiment is from the NEW The World is Yours stamp set that we’re releasing this week.  I curved it just slightly to fit with the curve of the die.  Such a sweet word of encouragement.  SO dang cute!

OMG, so adorable, Christine! Dies can be a lot of fun, can't they? You have the perfect paper for your little owl. I've been hoarding that piece because it is cute and requires just the right image to go with it. Well, you created it! LOVE!
