Autumn Owls for the Challenges

I was checking out the Etsy Inspired challenge and found a cute Sleeping Owls Eye Pillow and that became the start of this Challenge Card!  As I checked out the different challenges for this week, I decided I'd use Autumn Colors on my little guys so I could link my card to some of the other challenges out there.

I knew I wanted little boutonnieres for each owl (this was a thought in my head since I first got the punch!) and pulled out the tiniest flower punch I had.  Using scrap DP, I punched a bunch of teeny flowers, pressed in their centers with my stylus pen to get them to curve upward and then layered 3 of them together for each flower. 

I punched all the owls out in Early Espresso CS, and then used several different DP scraps to create vests for them.  I drew a line down the center of each vest, glued on some itty bitty mini mini buttons and added the googly eyes on their faces.







I mounted each onto a punched square and punched scallop square and let their feet dangle off the edges.  Attached them to my base card all facing a different direction and decided to stop there!
