My Card

This is a card I made yesterday. I am submitting it to a couple of challenge sites: The Pink Elephant and 365 Cards. I intended to make a simple, cute owl card to send to Stephen's grandmother with some pictures of the kids inside. She loves getting handmade goodies and saves everything I ever send to her! Anyway, I love this card. I love the little bird in the tree and all the different paper, and now I don't want to send it... I just want to look at it. Don't worry though, I will send it to Mamaw eventually!



I printed out that cute owl and cut him out, then used black Stickles for his eyes. I used adhesive foam strips on the back of the owl to give him a little dimension. The mushroom is a rub on, the bird is made by me and got jazzy with some rhinestones, her nest is made of mulberry paper. I used a jewelry tag and wrote "you whooo" on it and attached with hemp. Inked the edges in brown and attached to a chartreuse card. Ta-da!

If you are looking for a challenge, check out these three sites:

I'm not much of a "challenge" girl, it stresses me out. But if I already have a project in mind, I will make it and submit it to the site. Browsing challenge sites is pretty fun too! Everyone comes up with something totally original and all their own, which I like! Enjoy, and if you have a favorite site or blog, pass it on! I'd love to take a peek!

  3. So cute - I can quite understand why you don't want to part with it. I was like that with some ATCs last week.
