Back to School Inspired Owl Punch Art

I miss nap time! For the most part, my kiddos have outgrown naps and I really do miss that quiet time in the afternoon! That used to be my stamping time and I especially enjoyed participating in several challenges. Hopefully now that my littlest ones are both in pre-school, I will have more opportunities to stamp just for the fun of it!

I managed to find some quiet time today and made up this card for the Back to School Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge.

 

The only school-themed stamp in my collection came from the It's a Wrap Occasions stamp set. (It's the A+ apple stamp in the banner). I remembered seeing several version of the teacher owl when the Owl Punch first came out a few years ago, so I created my own version. The only "extras" I added to the Owl Punch pieces were the wings (a 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch cut in half) and two small pieces for the sides of the glasses. Oh, and the chalk (hand cut from a scrap of white cardstock).
