"Owl" be seeing you....ahem

 

Ok, that post title was painful. Sorry.

But I was messing around with the Lacy & Lovely stamp set (item no 122887) & it occurred to me that the center of the smallest flower, punched out, would make great owl eyes. 

So I used the Stampin' Up! Owl punch (118074) & made the owl as usual. For the eyes, I stamped the Lacy & Lovely flower & punched it out with the 3/4" circle punch (119873).

You can then either punch the middle out of that circle using the larger eye circle from the owl punch (replace the centre with a contrasting colour punched out using the same circle) or just stick the punched out eyes on top.

I really like how it came out - it totally changes the character of the owl.

The stamped circle is the large stamp from the Lacy & Lovely stamp set with the middle punched out. The leaves & 'Hello' are from the Summer Silhouettes stamp set (126447). I used the 'stamp kissing' technique to get the variegated look on the leaves.

The inks are Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise & Real Red from the Brights collection (131182). I used Baked Brown Sugar (131174) for the eyes.
