Spooky Owls...

Good morning everyone! 

Today I wanted to pop in and share a couple of 5x5 Halloween cards that I made with an older Sizzix Bigz Owl die... 
I used several Halloween papers/scraps to create the owls and after the elements were cut out I added Walnut Stain Distress ink to the edges. The kraft cardstock is from Tim Holtz which I sponged Walnut Stain ink over the top so the embossed area would show up better. The spider webs and small spiders were cut with Paper Smooches dies and I used a Memory Box die for the dangling spider.
 And that's about it... a little time consuming with all of the paper piecing but I love owls and I think they turned out pretty cute! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Super cute owls and I love the patterned papers! I tend to go straight for cardstock and only remember after its assembled that using patterned papers would be cute! I especially love how the first owl is about to go cross eyed looking at the spiders getting closer! Love this! Thank you so much for sharing these with us at 2CCC and I hope you'll be back to play along again soon!

Hi Tammy! I LOVE these pieced owls! You are truly the master when mixing everything together! These are two perfect Halloween cards! We have a family of owls that live in the ravine behind us and I love hearing them call to each other at night! Take care!
