I have heaps of left over googly eyes from making my husband Reinbeer for Christmas. So I thought I'd do a card with an owl since they've got such big eyes. I also just got a parcel today from Two Peas with Valentine's goodies inside. We all know my love of puns, so really it wasn't too hard to think of what I wanted to do for a card today!

I started off Copic coloring in the owl, nothing fancy, at all. Since the googly eyes were self sticky, I just peeled the backing off and adhered them directly to the Owl's eyes. I got the new Doodlebug Valentine's twine and thought I'd take it a lil over the top and add a teeny tiny bow to the owl's ear. Using my Cricut I die cut two hearts in two different shapes. Stamped the Kraft heart with Hero Art's woodgrain stamp using Versa Mark ink and sprinkled sea foam embossing powder on it. After I heat embossed it and let it cool, I glued it to the center of the red Doodlebug polka dot paper and set it aside. I cut a piece of Pebbles 'I Heart You 12X12 With Love Collection' cardstock about a 1/4 of an inch smaller than my Kraft card base and adhered it down. I used the branding strip on that same piece of Pebbles paper for the strip of hearts and punched a scalloped boarder of Kraft to layer it on top of. Lastly I wrapped some more of the Doodlebug Valentine's twine around it three times and adhered that portion of the card to the Kraft card base. Attached the two hearts and then the owl went on last. Finally I stamped the sentiment with Lawn Fawn's Smitty's ABCs and the card was done! :)

Here's another variation I made with a Hampton Arts owl with balloon stamp and a boarder made out of Hero Art's Sweet Hearts Clear Stamp Set and Copics.
