Lil Miss Thang - Dazzled By Stamping

I love this chick!!

I made her for my hostess Abby last week and thought I'd share with you, too….

Owls still seem to be really popular, and you can find a lot of them on Pinterest.

I had to add a couple of my own touches.

First is always THE EYES for me.

Using a little white gel pen to draw "some light" in the eyes makes her come alive.

Reminds me of Disney eyes–like Bambi and Thumper. (LOVE THEM, by the way!)

Second is her BOW!! Isn't she cute?!?!

It's an Old Olive Simply Styled Embellishment from the Holiday Catalog (pg 22.)

It comes that way–bow attached to clip (12 in a pkg) and it's actually holding my bag closed.

Third–I didn't want to decorate the bag too much, but I DID want to use my Expressions Thinlits dies.

Love the font on these!

They [the end result] are very delicate–probably not even 1/8" wide lines.

So I have a couple tips/tricks for you:

Put a layer of wax paper between your thinlit and cardstock for easier removal.
Keep a toothpick with the set….There are holes in the thinlit to help punch out the word from the die. Paper piercing tool is TOO sharp.

Here's a list of everything I used. You may even have most of it all already!

Hope your first week back to school was great!

Enjoy the next one, too!! 😉
