STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
- Jewels Basic Pearls (finally, stick-ons–woo hoo!) are the perfect way to give this handsome owl a little jazz.
- NEW PRODUCT ALERT! The Decorative Label Extra Large Punch (available 9/1) used for the sentiment is one of my favorite new products in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. It's destined for your wish list!
- To keep the button in place on the ribbon, I used Linen Thread to tie both the button and ribbon together (from underneath the knot).
- What me, texture? Yeah, baby and lots of it! I used both the Elegant Lines and Perfect Polka Dots Textured Embossing Folders PLUS Stampin' Up! Textured Card Stock (luscious).
