owl mask

What a fun time of the year to create. As the summer weather turns cooler the colors change to an autumn palette. I created this fun Owl Mask that can be worn for Halloween or as a decorative piece to hang. If you change the color or eliminate some of the pieces you can totally change the look and feel of the mask. Create in all white and you’d have a beautiful winter owl.

Hi, I am Janet from Try it – Like it – Create it, and I created this free SVG file to share with you as a part of the CutCardStock design team. Do you love working with SVG files? As a graphic designer, I love creating SVG files, and I will be sharing projects, including SVG files, with you twice a month.  

The colors I chose to work with are all from the Basis line and they are weighted at 80# cover and come in a variety of different colors. Cutting this file on a Cricut Maker, I set it to cut 100# cardstock.

All the pieces are cut and ready to assemble. I set the width of the file to 7.5″ to fit comfortably on the 8.5 x 11″ pieces.

I wanted to add some detail and depth to the mask so I chose to ink blend the pieces. Then the pieces were worked with a ball tool to add some actual dimension.

From this angle, you can see the dimension and a close-up of some of the ink blending. Now all that’s needed is some elastic to make the mask wear ready.
