Hunting Owl Friendship Birthday Card

Petra asked me to make her a friendship birthday card for her to give to a special friend.  The friend's favourite colour is purple and she loves owls.  I found this beautiful Woodware owl stamp and loved it as soon as I saw it.

Here's the card and envelope together.

Here's the card.  I used SU! Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White and sparkly silver as my colour combo and the card measures 5 3/4" square.  I stamped the image, trimmed it to size and matted and layered it.  After adhering the patterned paper I wrapped a length of purple Tricolor ribbon around the panel and glued the whole thing to the front of the card base.  I applied Wink of Stella to the moon for a touch of shimmer.  I then stamped the image again and fussy cut the owl so I could adhere it over the top.  I glued the owl flat at the body but placed Dimensionals under the wings.  I'd given Petra a list of sentiments to choose from and she selected 'Our friendship is timeless' which I cut with a banner punch.  I glued the white banner to a Silver Glimmer Paper banner and I popped that up on Dimensionals.

Here's a closer look at the popped up owl, the dimension is amazing!

Here's the inside of the card.

Here's the envelope.  I stamped the image again and cut just part of it out with a circle die.

I was very pleased when Petra told me she was happy with the card!
