Owl You Need Is Love!

Greetings! It's Tuesday so it's Kathi here with a project to share with you. Seeing that Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching, I decided to create a shaker card with two of the six owls in AALL and Create's Owl You Need is Love Clear Stamp Set #156.

Here's the card:

Here's a different photo that shows the shaker contents and the embossed sentiment. Ordinarily, if there were glare issues, I'd pop outside to get better photos. Alas, there's at least a foot of drifting snow that comes clear up to my front door.

I chose two of the lovable owls from the Owl You Need is Love Clear Stamp Set #156 for use on this card. They were stamped with Copic friendly ink, fussy-cut, colored with markers, and edged with a dark marker. 

I created my own background paper by brushing Periwinkle Prism ink over the Hearts and Dots Stencil by Alexandra Renke onto blue cardstock and Dusky Rose Prism Ink onto pink cardstock.

I find that the Black Blending Brushes by Time for Tea Designs are wonderful to use to apply ink over stencils because they get into the smallest areas and don't get shredded by the stencil. They even hold up to metal stencils! 

The blue stenciled cardstock was trimmed to 5.25" square. Premier Blending Tool and 

Premier Ink Blending Sponges by Hunkydory Crafts were used to edge the blue cardstock. I prefer to use sponges for edging. 

A heart die was used to cut an aperture in the blue stenciled cardstock panel. Onyx Black VersaFine Ink by Tsukineko was used to stamp the sentiment onto heat embossable window plastic. The sentiment was heat embossed with Clear Detail embossing powder.

The sentiment window was adhered to the cover the back of the heart-shaped aperture. Two layers of 3-D Adhesive Foam Roll by Hunkydory Crafts were added around the opening, shaker contents were added, and the opening was sealed with the stenciled pink cardstock. The shaker panel was adhered to a 5.5" square blue card.

A branch die-cut was adhered to the card front as shown then the owls were adhered to finish the card.
