Owl Always Love You . . .

 . . . was the first thought that came to mind when I saw this adorable Open Owl (LG751) stencil.  He is soooo cute!

 

This stencil lends itself to a variety of techniques, so I started off with paper piecing. 

Materials:
Open Owl Stencil
Patterned paper of your choice
Tim Holtz/Sizzix Holly Branch die
Wiggle eyes, brads or buttons
Sentiment of your choice

Here's what to do:
Trace the owl on card stock and set aside.  Assemble patterned paper and trace the various parts of the owl on the back of the paper, keeping the front of the stencil (the side with the stencil number and copyright information) face down.  Cut out just outside the line.  If your owl is wearing a vest, cut a second body from contrasting paper and trim away the top and bottom.  Adhere cut pieces to card stock and cut out.  Add buttons or brads and wiggle eyes.

Die cut branch.  Stamp sentiment.  Adhere to patterned background paper and you're done!
