Simply Stampin' Challenge 57

The theme this week on Simply Stampin' is PERFECT PAIRS, something which certainly had my brain ticking over until I decided to have a go with two owls using the brilliant SU owl punch.  Eventually the ideas came together for this Anniversary card. Background papers are from the mini catalogue which I think finishes today and I've used a Sizzix die cut shape embossed with flowers; a branch die also from Sizzix - this was coloured using Copic pens;  little flowers were punched with SU punch; sentiment produced on the computer. A while ago a came across some 'goggly' eyes with eyelashes so took the opportunity to use them on Mrs Owl while Mr. Owl has the usual kind.  Do take a look at the Simply Stampin blog to see lots of other great ideas for perfect pairs.

    I love these owls, and they make a perfect anniversary card. Another summery creation while our weather certainly isen't. I see your blog has a wet look to it as well, will it be changing with the weather outside?

    I see you're preparing for the deluge with your blog makeover - very apt.
    Love your goggly eyes & loving owl pair - she really looks like she's batting her eyelashes at him.

    oooh, love the owls! Am still thinking about this challenge - not sure if what I plan will fit the challenge, may be a bit too out of the box - I know the weather is foul, but did you HAVE to have raindrops as the new background? (maybe that will make it go away, on second thoughts!)

    I've never quite 'got' people's love of owls on the craftwork but these two certainly changed my mind Val. They are so sweet and perfect for an Anniversary card. I adore Mrs Owl's eyes. What a great idea.

    Hugs
