Winged Birthday Wishes - Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls

   My card today was made to play along with the Seize the Birthday challenge to use "Winged Things" on a birthday card.  I couldn't resist making another card with the Adorable Owls set.  You can get this set free with a $50 purchase (before tax/shipping) during Sale-a-Bration.  Check out my online store to see this set as well as other rewards you can earn!  

  I paired the owl with the new Conversation Bubble dies for a fun card for all ages.

  The Tahitian Tide card base is a great background for other bold colors.  I used a piece of the retired All Together DSP (which is in the clearance rack currently for $4.60!!  That's a bargain for sure!) for a nice bold contrast to the bright colors.  I topped that with a Stitched Rectangle in Basic White on which to add the rest of my elements.

  I stamped the owl in Soft Suede and colored him/her in with Stampin' Blends markers then fussy cut it.  I popped it on the edge of the Basic White panel then added die cut stars in Daffodil Delight, Tahitian Tide and Sweet Sorbet.  The little stars die is in the Conversation Bubbles die set and is perfect for a little something extra.

  The sentiment from Best Day stamp set is stamped in Memento Black and the word bubble frame in Basic Black cut with the new Conversation Bubble dies is popped on dimensionals around it. The last touch is a tiny baker's twine bow on one of the lower stars.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
