This is my son's favourite card right now - he's in love with the googly eyed owls!
I used a tree template from the extra-super-talented Mel Stampz: http://melstampz.blogspot.com/
The owls were all stamped & then cut out. Each one has a flocked belly, though you can't really see any of the bellies - trust me, it's there! lol
I traced the basic 'leafy' bits on the back of some BG green paper, and then carefully ripped them out, and then ran them through my brand-new-to-me cuttlebug (yah!)...which kinda crackled the BG paper. I remember reading about that problem but since I didn't have a CB, forgot until it happened. Ugh. So, since that was my last piece of that colour, a little extra sandpapering made it look like I did it on purpose
After putting the tree together & tucking the owls in their spots, I added the googly eyes and the "hoot" part of the sentiment. Then I spent waaaaaay too much time searching through every sentiment I own to make up the rest of the sentiment I wanted. I am never doing that again. Ever.
But, I love how it turned out anyway - and thanks, Mel, for the awesome tree that got it started!
