Dare to be different!

Well looky WHO just flew into the hen house!! It's the Owlie family!! LOL!! WHO's this little card for, you ask? Well, it's for my little nephew who's a whoppin' 7 years old and just so happens to have made the PRINCIPAL's list!! Woo-hoo!! Way to go Andrew! So I made this little card for him and snuck a little surprise inside too! Yeah, he's different from me alright. Shoot, the only Principle's list Aunt Jeanie ever got on was the "whippin'" one!! I wasn't such a bad kid, really... but they'd always be fussin' at me cuz' I's talkin' all the time. Hmmmmph! I'm just friendly, that's all!! Buncha meanies!!


This was a SUPER easy card too. I stamped "Branching Out Owlies" from Stamping Bella onto some SU Very Vanilla CS and colored them with my copics. I cut them out and embossed them with my oval Nesties and sponged a little chalk ink around the edges. This DP is from the same Recollections' paper pack as yesterday's card. It's the Autumn paper pack and it has such great earthy tones in it. The golden yellow mat is actually the reverse side of the striped paper. Nice huh? LOVE double sided paper! I used a few pop dots to adhere the image with, just for a little added dimension. To finish, I tied a cute bubbly bow with this cute saddle stitched ribbon from Papertrey Ink. Okee dokee, that does it for me today. Be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know whacha think of my little feathered friends. Hoot- hoot!! Oh, and wait 'til you see my card for tomorrow's That's Krafty Thursday!! It's 'da bomb I tell you!! LOL!! Have a great day! {{{hen hugs}}}

Supplies:
Rubber Stamps - Stamping Bella; CS - SU Very Vanilla, Dark Chocolate - Papertrey Ink; Nestabilities; DP - Recollections; Copics; Ribbon - Papertrey Ink; Colorbox Chalk Ink

  7. Haha, I see I'm not so far behind on my comments! Love this card, it is GREAT for a guy. This image is so sweet, I was thinking about getting. The owl that lives here came to visit this week. Haven't seen it for a while, but it was on the neighbour's roof and the following evening I saw it fly over. So amazing.
