For the Love of Harry

This card has literally been dancing in my head all week. Sometime around Monday or Tuesday, I decided I wanted to make a Harry Potter card. I knew I was going to use my circle punches to make his glasses, but I didn't get much further than that. Last night, I did some browsing on Stampin' Connection, the Stampin' Up! demonstrator's version of Facebook, and found some Harry Potter cards another demonstrator (the extremely talented Aubri St. Clair!) designed in MDS. Hers are a bit different, but very similar in style and is where I got the idea for the Gryffindor scarf!

Several punches involved here - I used circle punches in various sizes (see below) for the glasses and eyes. The nose piece, ear pieces, and the scar were cut by hand. The center of the eyes and the nostrils came from the owl punch. For his hair, I used the blossoms builder punch and the scarf is a 1-1/2" wide strip of Bravo Burgundy with 1/2" strips of Daffodil Delight layered on top.

One thing I definitely need to invest in is the adhesive eraser thing that's in the IBC, because some of the 2-way glue pen I used to attach the glasses smeared a bit under his eyes. For now, we're just going to say that Harry's a bit weary, which is understandable considering all he's seen in his young life!
