I decided to use my new owl punch again cause he’s so cute!
I used a stamp from Party Hearty for the “Celebrate”.  I masked it to just get the part I wanted.  I punched a circle for the balloon and used crystal effects on it to make it shiny.  I cut a little end piece for the balloon and tied linen thread to it and the owl’s wing. I also just cut a triangle for his party hat.
When I showed this card to my friend Mae (who is also on JAI) she said :
“How did you make the end of the balloon?”
I told her I had just cut it and she said:
“Oh I thought you might have used one of the owl’s feet for it.”
Brilliant!!!
Why didn’t I think of that.  Anyway I’ll know what to do next time.  Thanks Mae.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Party Hearty
Card : black white, pear, poppy, crumb cake, hostess dsp stack, brights dsp stack

These are definitely not my kind of colours …. but I really like how this card turned out.
