Whoo Loves You?

I just can’t get enough of the cute owl image from the new Little Critters collection from Clear and Simple Stamps! He makes another appearance here as the focal image on this card made with a sketch from the Clean and Simple Stamping blog.

For the sketch's large block panel, I repeatedly stamped the “whoo loves you” sentiment from the Little Critters set tone on tone in You’re Such a Gray-cious Host ink, staggering the placement of the words from line to line to add interest. One of the lines is stamped in red for a fun pop. The stamped panel is layered on a red scallop edged strip to match.

After adding a heart patterned paper panel edged with a strip of red grosgrain ribbon to the bottom of a pink card base, I added the sentiment panel on top.

The little owl from the Taglines: Critters set was stamped on a piece of gray cardstock and cut out. Its belly was paper pieced with a scrap of red cardstock. I used foam tape to attach the owl to a red circle, then set it on the card.
