Couldn't resist playing along in these challenges.
Inspiration Challenge # 266: Stephen Joseph Gifts
I chose Pillowcase Owl as my inspiration.
Teapot Tuesday Challenge # 127: Winnie, Not Whinney
If you know the sweet animals of the 100 Acre Wood, you know that they all look to Owl (or "Wol" as he chooses to spell his name) for advice. Any new mother will need advice so perhaps Owl (or "Wol") can be called upon if Jamie needs help...
Another reason to love Owl for a Teapot Party is that he can spell "Tuesday". (Check it out at the links below...)
You can see that Pooh did indeed find his way onto this card. He got lost, as expected, and wound up on the inside. I have sprayed my Shimmer Ink (mixed with rubbing alcohol) both inside and out to give this card lots of sparkle - 'cuz any baby so brand new as little Jon must still be covered in "angel dust".
Used a couple of those teensy wee circles from the owl punch instead of brads on the sentiment label and added a dab of Crystal Effects to give them shine. Makes the card a lot friendlier to mail.
PT: Yup, I used some.

Adorable card and sweet owl. He is a pretty fancy dresser. I like that ef. What a great idea to use the tiny circles as brads. Love Winnie on the inside and that you carried the Top Note theme inside.

This is just darling! The owl has so much texture about him, and I love how you've used all these punchez (hey, you are a Punchie, after all; I'd expect no less!) to put this scene together.
