I loved her owl card and teapot. Mine is a simple little owl next to hers, but I like him. I made him by making a template on my computer. I made his body out of an oval. His ears were hearts turned upside down. I cut him out 6 times. The bottom owl I left as the whole oval. Each successive piece I cut smaller using a curved cutting line. His eyes the white with the black I printed from the computer and punched with my 5/8" circle punch. I used my 1 1/2" punch to punch out two dark brown circles and two rust colored circles. I then overlapped them. His beak is a circle. His wings are 1/4 of a scalloped circle. I used a marker to outline the edges to give them more dimension. His feet are 2 ovals that I cut notches in to make his claws. I freehand cut the branch. The leaves were made by folding a piece of paper and sending it through my paper crimper at a diagonal. I then cut out the leaf shapes. The paper that is in the background makes me think of a piece of tapestry. It has flowers and leaves. I added brads to finish it. What do you think?
Thanks Cindy, for another fun tea party. Can't wait until next week!!

Wow! You are just so imaginative, MariLynn, producing such amazing results without a lot of hi-tech stuff. He's a fantastic autumn owl, and that DP is so rich and warm.
