Nurse Owl

This is a card I've made for our school nurse who is leaving us to do further training. For this I just had to use the owl from the Owl Punch and dress her up as a nurse. Her body is Crumb Cake, her dress is Bashful Blue stripey DSP and her 'cape' wings are punched from the Bird Builder punch using Pacific Point. The hat is made by using the dress from the punch turned upside down with a cross punched with a punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Shapes Pack. I added a strip of white for the belt with a buckle made from Brushed Silver cardstock, as was the outer part of the fob watch, and the tie for the cape is some Bakers Twine. The flowers she is holding are another Itty Bitty punch, the frame is made with two of the Edgelits dies, the branch is from the Bird Builder punch and the letters are cut with the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies.

The card I'm showing you today was a little experiment with one of the brand new Edgelits Dies from the Summer Mini. I cut one side of a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the die and then turned it round and cut the other side to match. This was placed in the centre of a white card blank before adding the sentiment, punched with the Extra Large Oval, in the centre. Some small flowers, from the Itty Bitty Punch Shapes Pack, were arranged and a Basic Rhinestone added to their centres. The card was finished off with a border stamp from Bordering on Romance.

Well it looks like summer has finally arrived so enjoy whatever you have planned for the week and I'll be back soon x
