Owl Birthday Card

This card was easy to make but visually looks quite impressive. To begin, I took a standard white square trifold card and cut off a triangle on the diagonal on the front square. I then stuck a square of lovely striped paper on the front of the second square, leaving a 5 mm border, so that a triangle of this could be seen once the card was folded.  On the front square, I then attached a triangle of contrasting green paper, again leaving a 5 mm border, and some ribbon along the bottom of the paper.

As a feature, I stamped three owls which I then coloured in copics before framing with some contrasting gold card and attaching to the front card. To finish, I attached a brad in the bottom left corner of the front square and in the top right corner of the middle square to bring the whole card together.

The recipient was very happy with the result!
