big eyes notecards

I thought I had enough owl stamps until I met Big Eyes! This new stamp from the Hero Arts 2012 release has to be one of my favorites, it just makes me smile. I was so inspired by the card that Shari Carroll made over on the Hero Arts blog yesterday, that I had to make some owl cards last night. This set also fits into one of this month's challenge themes over on the Hero Arts flickr group-card sets.

Here is a look at the entire set. Each owl was stamped and colored in with distress inks. I stamped each one again and the eyes were punched out with a 7/8 inch circle punch, and adhered with foam tape. Then I added a little bling to each eye. The beaks are cut out and I colored over them with a glaze pen to make them stand out.

I used the Envelope Pattern stamp on the background of each card, and another new sentiment-Need a Friend. Don't these just make you smile? I know someone who is going to just love these!
