Have a Hoot

This time of year, I seem to find a lot of cobwebs on my front porch, but I guess it just goes with the decor for Halloween.  Halloween isn't for a couple months but I wonder how it will be with COVID this year.  Will the kids go out trick or treating?  It's even on a Saturday this year.  Maybe just let the kids sit in their yards with their costumes on and a parade of cars drive by and throw candy out to them like they do in real parades.  Just an idea I thought of.  Anyway, I love this owl but I don't like spiders especially on my front porch.  It's awful to walk through a cobweb!  This little owl doesn't like spiders either.  I made this card for my swap this month.  Here are my instructions:

1.     The base of the card is Pumpkin Pie cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Basic Black cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4”, and the third layer is Crumb Cake cut at 3-3/4” x 5”.  Insert the Crumb Cake in the Woodland Embossing Folder and run it through the Big. Shot.  Adhere to the Basic Black cardstock.  Wrap the Metallic Mesh Ribbon around both layers and tape to the backside with Scotch Tape.
3.    Ink up the owl/tree with Memento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock.  Cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies.  Color in the tree with Soft Suede Blends.  Ink up another one on a scrap of Whisper White and die cut the owl and spider with the Peek-A-Hoot Dies.  Color them in and attach with Dimensionals.  Pop them up with Dimensionals (cut one smaller for the spider).  Die-cut a Pumpkin Pie scalloped circle with the Layering Circles Dies.  Layer together with Adhesive.  With Dimensionals on the back, adhere over the ribbon.
4.    Die a Basic Black Spider web with the Peek-a-Hoot Dies and attached in the upper right-hand corner with a Black Dimensional.
5.    Ink up the sentiment “Have a Hoot on Halloween” with Memento Black on a ¾” x 2-1/4” Whisper White Label.  Insert into the Banner Pick a Punch.  Attach with Dimensionals to the bottom the left-hand side of the card.
