Beanie Whoot by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

The Art Impressions Whoots have owlways been a favorite of mine...can you tell puns are too??

I just love this sweet 4127 – Beanie Whoot Set.

There's just something about owls that I love.  They're so wise and majestic looking. (or super cute as in this case)

The set comes with 3 different verses.

Beanie Whoots

Hello Ai friends and happy Friday! I've been working on some birthday cards this week, and I decided to ink up this cute Ai Beanie Whoots stamp SKU# M4122. Isn't he the cutest or what? I decided to keep this card clean and simple. The kraft card base is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". I stamped my Beanie Whoots onto white cardstock, and colored the owl's hat and chest with Spectrum Noir markers (aqua's and grey's). I colored the owl and the branch with my Prisma Color pencils, gamsol, and paper stumps. I chose some lovely designer papers from a 6"x6" My Mind's Eye paper pad (Lost and Found 2, Breeze collection). LOVE those beautiful papers! 

On the close up you can see the two different kinds of stitches I used to sew around the edges of the card. (Click on the photo for a close up).

For the inside of the card I stamped a cute sentiment from the Ai Birthday Whoot stamp set, SKU #4125. Distressed the edges with some tea dye distress ink, and added a matching strip of designer paper.

Thank you for stopping by the Ai Blog today! Stop by tomorrow to see what wonderful project Zora has in store for you!

Have a safe and wonderful weekend and Happy Stamping!
