Build a Card OwlsCompleted by Helen Jennings

I printed the sheet onto super smooth paper and cut out the elements.

I cut each of the 2 backing paper elements up into 4 smaller rectangles then used 3 of each to form a patchwork background, which I stuck to some linen effect gold card that I had stuck to a 6" square brown card blank.

I drew faux stitching around the edges of each rectangle. I then stuck a pale blue circle of card on top with foam pads and drew stitching around the edge of that.

I cut elements out of one owl to decoupage onto the other (head and wings).

I then arranged the owl, branches and leaves onto the circle and stuck down. I added the "What a hoot" greeting panel on an angle and finished by sticking some of the smaller flower elements in the bottom corners.

This is a fun sheet which allows plenty of scope for immagination.
