Hi Friends! Happy February - if you can believe that! I can tell this year is just going to fly on by... Whew. Lots to look forward to though - Valentines and Spring are just around the corner. Today is my first Challenge as part of the A Blog Named Hero team! Woooo Woooo! The challenge for this time around is Paper Piecing. I looooove making projects with this technique. I hope you will check out the ABNH Blog and get inspired to put your own entry into the mix! You could win a gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp!
So, here's my funny Valentine for today. All stamps are from Hero Arts of course. Owl you need is a friend! These big owls are so adorable. I gave them cute matching outfits using some pretty paper from My Mind's Eye. I used a brand new 2013 Hero Arts sentiment stamp in a fun font too.
What do you suppose their names are, this cute couple?? Hootie? LOL. I adore their big eyes and now they have super fab clothes! I paper pieced each part of their outfits just like making paper dolls in the old days! I colored in their faces and wings with some Copic Markers.
Here's a close up....
My stamps for today....
Here they are planning what to wear!
I adore this sentiment stamp! There are a bunch of sayings in this pretty font, from the 2013 collection. I bought them all! (of course)
