I love this sentiment - just too cute! I opted for a digi image from 2 Cute Ink and put 3 owls together in a row to print out. They were colored with Copics and all the hearts were filled with Diamond Glaze for shine and depth. The 2 papers were chosen to fit in with a masculine theme - the one right under the focal panel is wood grain. After edging the panel with Distress Ink, I punched 1/16th inch holes on either side of each foot so that I could thread twine thru to look like the owls are sitting on a rope. (See the close up below.)
I added three square brads and a sentiment with a birthday tag hanging off it.
