• Make a 10cm x 16cm card blank from orange card stock. Die-cut a pale blue scallop-edged circle and attach to the centre. Die- cut and aperture in the centre of the scallop circle and use dark brown card as an insert.
• Add a strip of stripey paper across the face of the base card together with a concertina folded strip of beige card attached with a staple.
• Die-cut all the elements to create the owl. Gently curl the feather elements to add dimension and attach the assembled face to the body with a 3D foam pad before decorating the eyes with adhesive pearls. Attach your finished owl to the base card using 3D foam pads.
• Make a 13 x 13 cm base card from sage coloured card stock and attach a rectangle of stripey paper across the base before adding a length of knotted ribbon.
• Die-cut a blue circle and yellow scalloped circle before matting together and attach to the card using 3D foam pads.
• Die-cut the various elements to create the fox and assemble as shown before adding tiny black adhesive pearls for eyes. Attach the head to the body using a foam pad and use the same pads to attach the fox to the centre of the circles.
