Hoot If You Are 2

It's been a while since I have done some punch art. I seem to go through phases for it, but sometimes you get an idea in your head and there's no other way to achieve it. This was one of those times.

I have a nephew who is big on Hoot from Giggle & Hoot on the ABC, so I felt compelled to have a go at making a Hoot card. I couldn't just do any old owl in Hoots colours - even to me who doesn't have toddlers and doesn't watch Giggle & Hoot - it would look wrong. I cut a strip of Tempting Turquoise slightly smaller than 1 3/4" and fed it through the back of the 1 3/4" punch so only one end was punched. I then punched the straight edge with the scallop border punch. A full Tempting Turquoise 1 3/4" circle and I had the rest of this body. His eyes had been a problem when I contemplated this in the past, but that problem was solved by using the number 6 in the Timeless Type die set. a bit of a snip to the tops of the 6's and Hoot was looking like Hoot and no ordinary owl. In hindsight the head should be a bit shorter, but I don't think it matters too much - there's no mistaking who it's supposed to be
