 Now if you are in the mood to read on I will show you my Great big Owl



I really wanted to make this guy 'perchable' and I do this with the help of the matching die set. Fist, I stamped the owl in black - I clear embossed him at this point as I was going to colour him with copics. Then I trimmed him out with the die and colored in the white card - I knew he was going on a black background.


then, I placed the little 'claws line die right on top of his feet. Even though you cannot see the cutting line when you do this there is a simple way to make sure it lines up - see where the red arrows are - I just made sure the centre of the metal at both ends was 
centred on top of the last toe/claw on each side.



This is how it looks when the cut was made - perfect.



At this point you can slide a branch in underneath his toes!!! The Great big owl die set contains a branch die which is a perfectly sized perch for him. Love this tip.



I simply mounted him on a layered card base - he really is a big chappie


Hope it tickles!

  4. Hello Claire,
    This is my second post so I'm either rolling around in cyberspace, or you're going to get another one from me sometime!
    Your cards are amazing but I suppose first rate stamps and dies do make things easier!!
    That's not to say that I don't wish I had a smidgeon of your talent. xx
