Punched Owl Dahlia

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.

• Stamps - Tiny Tags
