Please don't ask where I got this gorgeous owl stamp because I have no clue. I also have no idea why it was on my craft table this morning. The little plastic bag must have stuck to the stamps I got out to use yesterday. But it was there and I figured I'd just go with it to make a card using the sketch from Sketch Saturday.
This is a great sketch for a CAS card.
The little leaves, sentiment and owl are all heat embossed with copper embossing powder. I wanted to put the owl on a branch. By very carefully positioning the embossing folder on the card and barely cranking the handle on my Cuttlebug, I was able to just get two branches on the paper. I was shooting for one, but settled for two. Then I could perch the fussy cut owl on top.
Works for me!
