Today I wanted to share a very special project with you. My friend Madeline came up with it and used DSP for it… I wanted to create a similar one. But the more I looked at it and saw just how munch punching was involved, I decided to go a different way.
I used Designer Fabric and BigShot dies. And the result is this cutie:
The “Spice Cake” Designer Fabric was used here. For the ruffles I used the “Tasteful Trims”die and for “feathers” I used the “Island Floral” die.
The eyes, ears and beak are made from DSP, and of course, I did some sponging!
All I can say it was a LOT of die cutting and hot-gluing! But so well worth it. I do think that it’s easier with fabric and dies than DSP and punches. So I took the easy road…
What a nice gift! I had her on a plate with leaves, but forgot to take a picture before I gave her away…
Now I just have to make another one for myself 
Claudia, bin immer noch ganz begeistert, wenn ich deine Eule sehe!

Tiffany - thanks for liking Madeline's project and my take on it well enough to feature it. The base is a simple white foam ball. I used an 5 inch one and cut some off the bottom to make it stand straight.
