Pop Up Valentine Happy Birthday Card - Challenge 107

In twelve days it will be my grandson's 5th birthday.  He was born on Feb. 15 at 1515 hours - one day shy of my mother's birthday (she's now deceased) and one day after Valentine's Day. This year I thought I would make him a Valentine's birthday card using the Two Step Owl Punch.
This card was inspired by darlene here
Stamp: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Beary Best Friends
Ink: Early Espresso, Basic Black, SU markers in various colours
Papers: The base card is Crumb Cake upon which I put Woodland Walk designer Paper, Old Olive, Real Red
Owl: Early Espresso body, crumb cake, whisper white, and basic black eyes, vest is a scrap of Elegant Soiree, heart daffodil delight
Accessories: Wide Oval Punch, Large Heart Punch, Two Step Owl Punch, Two Step Bird Punch, Stampin Dimensionals

This is the inside of the card.
Stamps: Afterthoughts, Bring on the cake, Happy Moments (retired), Beary Best Friends
Inks: Early Espresso, various colours of SU markers, Crumb Cake
Papers:  Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Whisper White
Owls made in the same manner as the outside of the card.
Accessories: Two Step Owl Punch, Curly Label Punch, Decorative Label Punch
I stamped the cake on a separate piece of Whisper White and cut off all the candles except 5, then I adhered it to the card.

As you can see there are a total of 5 owls on the card, one for each year of his life.  Hope he likes the card.
