For Candi!

If you don't live under a rock, you may have noticed that THERE ARE OWLS EVERYWHERE!!!

I'm not saying I don't like them, I just worry about all the decorative mice.

The thing about owls is, with their really big owly eyes, they look really surprised. Right? What might they be thinking? Is it a secret just for owls?

Well wonder no more! My sister has figured out what they are soooo surprised about. You'll never look at another owl the same way again.

I know I can't.

Try it. Try to look at this boring "hello" card without thinking that the owl has just farted!

You can't do it!

It cannot be done!

 

He's saying "hello" but he's thinking "fart!"

I used:

* Woodgrain and Pendant Park stamp sets

* Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Basic Black card stocks

* Pumpkin Pie d.s.p.

* Early Espresso ink

* Owl Builder, Bird Builder, Large Oval and Wide Oval punches

* Rat-a-Tat sizzlit alphabet (Non SU!)

Pendant Park for the PPA 90

The most complicated part of this card was taking a good picture of it! White cards are tricky that way. Also, my camera is crap.  

Its been FOREVER since I last submitted a card to the Pals Paper Arts weekly challenge, but I figured if I'm getting back into the swing of things, I should really start challenging myself again. So, here I am.

Its funny, when I saw this card in my mind it was a lot more complex. It had ribbons and pearls, hand cut images and textured layers. Well, sometimes things don't come out the way we imagine. I just couldn't do any of that with this card. It wanted to be plain and simple and white.

Sometimes I feel this way too.

Here's another picture of it. Like I said, its hard for me to capture the character of a white card. I'll let you decide which photo is best.

This would be a really fun card to demo at a workshop because it uses so few products. Its a perfect project for a brand new stamper to get started with. Now I just need to find a hostess!

I used:

* Pendant Park stamp set

* Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz card stocks

* Early Espresso and Pear Pizzazz ink

* 1 3/4" circle punch

That's IT!!!
