Greetings!
This was a challenge for Seize the Birthday’s Sketch Challenge, however, I was late finishing it, so it couldn’t be entered.

And here is the sketch I went off of:

Good Luck Owl

My Aunt has a friend who is into owls and has decorated her bathroom with that theme. She asked me if I could make something with owl’s. So, it’s time to put on my creativity hat and see what I can come up with. I tried to add a sentiment that would be uplifting, because if it’s in the bathroom, her friend will look at it while she’s getting ready to start her day.

Hmmm, why would someone put a card in their bathroom you may ask?! Well, my Aunt brought up a very good point that most people oooh and ahhh over cards they receive, but the card ultimately ends up getting thrown in a junk drawer or sometimes they even find themselves in the garbage. Why not frame the card in a picture frame?! That way it can hang on somebody’s wall as a decorative piece and it will last forever where everyone can view and appreciate it?!

This card was created using the following supplies:

• Brayer (Used the Brayer to apply ink to the texture plate, which left the inked design on the cardstock)
• Wood texture plate from Fiscars
• Bird Builder Punch for the branches
• Owl Builder punch
• So Happy for You stamp set

Thanks for stopping by!

Reflections of Beauty

I love how the reflection in the water kind of shimmers so it looks realistic!  (it's just the stamp - I'm not that creative!  lol).

Anyway, I burnished chalk to cover the water, land, trees, rocks, & sky. I was thinking some Crystal Effects would look really good either on the rocks or on the water, but it was already pretty the way it was, I didn't want to (over-do) it.

Supplies used for this card:

• Life is Good stamp set from Gina K Designs
• Extra Large Pewter Eyelets
• Stampin Up Designer Ribbon
• Fiscars Texture Plate - Woodgrain
• Big Shot
• Dimensionals
• Stampin' Write Markers
• Colored Staples
• Stampin' Pastels (chalks)
• Sponge Daubers
• Crop-a-Dial

Things are not yet resolved.  Please continue to pray for my family and I.  If you are not familiar with the story, please catch up here.

Thank you soo much for stopping by!

Blessings & Inky Hugs!
