Happy Easter- new technique

Hi everyone,

First, I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

It certainly has been a while since I made a post. Usual excuse: Life :)  It's true. It's been crazy, but I love it anyway.

I was trying to put together an Easter Card, and didn't have an egg stamp, so I turn to my Stampin' Up! punches, and what do I find?  The Owl Punch!

Here is my card using the Owl punch for the Eggs, and the steps below with pictures on how to achieve the look.  This is my original idea, so if it's out there somewhere and has already been discovered, well, then, great minds think alike.


Here are the steps.  I used Bliss Stamp Set for the eggs. The colors I used are: Concord Crush, Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze and Basic Grey. THe picture doesn't really do the card any justice, it's much prettier in person :)

Stamp the image in the bottom corner of a scrap piece of paper, so you don't waste too much from punching with the owl.


Line up the image inside the owl symmetrically on both sides.   


Next, cut off his feet, and the ears rounding them to form an egg!


Sponge the edges to hide an imperfections. 


And, that's it! Easy peasy!!!   Here are some more eggs I made!


Thanks for stopping by. Hope this helped, and inspired some of you to try using your punches in different ways!!!!  leave a comment and tell me what you think!!

Have a great weekend!!!!
