Hooty Owl BirthdayCompleted by Ali Sherman

Stuck a sheet of backing paper to the front of a C5 card blank. Printed the sheet onto premium glossy photo card. Cut out all of the elements on the sheet.

Scored & shaped the leaves on the cut out branch (with owl) and stuck to the main image with silicone glue.

Embossed the back of the 2nd owl layer to add shape to the wings & talons. Embossed the back of the eyes, rubbing in a circular shape to make them more rounded.

Using an embossing tool I again rubbed the back of all the petals, doing a round shape for the middle and ovals in the centre of the petals.

Stuck all these extra layers to the main image using silicon glue. I finished the card by hi-lighting the H & B and the leaves in the trees with metallic gel pens.
