GUEST DESIGNER MARIA & HER SU OWL PUNCH CARDS

I am so

HAPPY

to bring back

GUEST DESIGNER

MARIA

and another one of her

SU OWL PUNCH Cards

for ALL of YOU who treasure her SWEET creations.

MARIA

is so clever and inventive with her

SU OWL PUNCH.   

I challenged her last year just before Christmas to come up with a PEACOCK using her SU OWL PUNCH and ' BOY DID SHE DELIVER.' That was the first card she showcased here on my blog last month.

This month she brings yet another SWEET card to US. . .

Please enjoy her PICS and HOW she did it!

YOU will be motivated to make one too!

* If  YOU want to share a pic with us of one you made,  just leave me a comment with your email
 (I don't publish comments with emails attatched) and I will arrange with you to add your pic/s following this very post.

I can't think of a better compliment that would be to our Guest Designer. : )

ENJOY!...


Dear Friends of Cathie's Sweet Spot,

Thank you for your positive response on my last post about the 'PEACOWL'.
 
I´m looking forward to share more SU Owl-punch animals during the next months with you :)

Today´s special animal was invented by myself again, and I was very proud as I finished this Owl-punch Giraffe (feel free to suggest a better name.)

I made this giraffe out of yellow cardstock and punched out the head, horns, eyes and nostrils, body, feet and tail with my SU Owl-punch.

The legs were long strips of yellow cardstock and all body parts have been colored with the giraffe pattern by using my sponge dauber, brown ink and a little piece my sewing thread was on. (The holes on it were perfect to shape-ink all the dots on the giraffe).

All parts were also distressed on their edges with brown ink using my dauber.

The little hat was a cut-piece from a stash of Christmas paper I bought at the craft fair last year.

As final touch, the giraffe got a scarf made of blue fluffy ribbon my friend Christi sent me.

To keep the winter theme of the card,
I punched a few snowflakes out of embossed vellum paper and put a self adhesive pearl in the middle of each.

 

The sentiment I used is from Lili of the Valley and it just fit the card.

Thank you Cathie for this very great opportunity to show my creations on your amazing Blog :)

I hope you all like this creation and please don´t hestitate to comment.

Have a crafty day!!!  : )
