I wanted to try a new fold with this fun Owl punch so I made a dahlia fold with it.
Isn't it pretty?
I LOVE this color combo! I punched owls from the Elegant Soiree designer series paper & used those colors as a starting point substituting Early Espresso for the Soft Suede. Early Espresso, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla & Sahara Sand are gorgeous together.
There are 7 punched owl bodies here (I used another ds paper in these photos).
Here's an owl body with the feet cut off & the top inside curve cut out into a point. I drew lines where the folds are for you to see better.
First fold it in half, then cut off the owls feet (sad!).
Then turn it to the other side & fold in the bottom curves like this:
Easy! I punched & trimmed 7 owl bodies & curved the ends up with a bone folder. Then I attached them to a 1 3/4" circle underneath. The Vintage brad & pearls finishes it off. I love to use our double sided designer series paper on these types of projects. You don't have to choose one side or the other & can show off both coordinating sides.
