These were really fun to create using the Owl Punch and a variety of other punches. And, I did end up creating my Dorothy Owl a bit differently from Kay's. I used paper from the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper to create a blue and white gingham-ish dress, gave her some Marina Mist bows in her hair (using half a 4-petal flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack on each side), white sleeves (using the 8-petal flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes pack, with 4 scallops trimmed off), and sparkly red shoes out of Red Glimmer Paper (which Stampin' Up! hadn't introduced yet when Kay designed her owlz, but now makes creating the red shoes a breeze!). Here's my Dorothy's close up:
The rainbow paper in the background of the card was left over from some rainbow-colored paper I'd created for the birthday girl and her friends to alter and decorate composition notebooks into "Over the Rainbow" journals. To create the rainbow paper, I started with Whisper White Card Stock, then used a Stampin' Spritzer filled with a combination of ink refills and rubbing alcohol to add one color at a time. The colors I used, in order, were Real Red, Peach Parfait, Lucky Limeade, Tempting Turquoise, and Rich Razzleberry. For a finishing touch and a bit of sparkle, I sprayed on some Gold Smooch Spritz:
I was having such fun spraying on the colors, I didn't notice that I was being a little too enthusiastic with my spritzing, and somehow ended up getting Razzleberry all over one of our patio chairs:
Ooops! Fortunately, it rinsed away easily!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
