Today I have used the Owl-Ways Party digital stamp from Miss Daisy Stamps,
one of our generous sponsors this week.

I printed two owls on an A5 sheet of X-Press It Blending card.
I coloured the owl using Copic markers (details below), fussy cut then went around the edges using my Memento Tuxedo Black Dual Tip marker.

The eyes were calling out to me, reminding me of the neglected bottle of Glossy Accents in my stash, so I carefully applied a very thick layer and left it to dry.  It is a slow process when the air is really humid like it has been here.

Once his eyes were dry, the party owl was ready for some cardmaking.

Our niece is having her birthday next week and I thought this cute party owl would make the perfect finishing touch to her card, with some cool Action Wobbler interaction making it FUN.  I confess, it is hard to resist tapping the owl and watch him dance like he's at a party!

The base of the card is an A5 top fold.
I enlarged a digital cut file (details & link below) to fit the card base (I had to trim a bit off the bottom of the card base), cut using my Silhouette Cameo, then applied double-sided foam tape to the back of each layer.  Next came a cool trick I learnt in cyberland (sorry, I can't remember who) - I took everything out of my MISTI, put the top layer face down inside, pushing it hard into a corner, peeled off the tape backing, then carefully aligned the 2nd layer into the same corner and adhered the layer in place.  It worked a treat.  I repeated this for the next layer, applied the blue background panel to the cardbase, then used the MISTI again, to align the card base to all the popped layers.

I took an Action Wobbler and adhered it to the smaller orange balloon (mostly hidden by the owl), trimming off the overhanging bits.  I adhered the balloon to the card, peeled off the backing of the Action Wobbler then secured the owl firmly in place.

Here is side view showing the Action Wobbler mechanism.


I know I said it before, but the wobbling action really is cool
the slightest touch and he is dancing!
