Have a Hoot - {Embellish} Magazine Challenge

It's me again!

Are you getting sick of me yet? LOL I just wanted to pop in again to share another card that I made last Friday and am just now getting a chance to post. I've recently discovered a new online design magazine called {:Embellish Magazine:}. It's owner is Ashley Newell - her work is amazing, and now she's created a showcase for others to share their work with us as well. Love, love, love their challenges, and this is the first one that I actually had the courage to create for and submit. Wish me luck!

This week's challenge is a color challenge, with an added twist to use an owl in your design. If you know me, you know that I ADORE owls, so designing with them just makes me happy. I used one of my most favorite owl images from a My Cute Stamps set called Little Forest Friends. I stamped the owl on DP from the new Earth Love Mini Deck from Cosmo Cricket; same thing with the branch and leaves - and then cut them out. Fun, huh? I used a new SU Wood Grain background stamp for the brown panel and the knot hole. And I can't forget my all time favorite Apron Lace border punch. Gotta have that, now don't we?!!

So what do you think? I'm pretty happy with the results - I hope you are, too!
