With Love From Owl Us


I just finished up a card today that I will be linking over at Freshly Made Sketches and Seize the Birthday Challenges.

This is FMS #400 challenge card and this MFT stamp set came to my mind immediately and so did the SU paper from the Sail Away suite.  I just love Mossy Meadow and would say it's one of my favorite greens.





PARTICULARS:

Stamp Sets: MFT Wild Woodland w/ matching dies, MFT Anything-But-Basic Birthday Wishes, Bitty Birthday Wishes

Ink: SU Mossy Meadow, Memento Jet Black, SU Soft Sky

MFT Die-Namics: Stitched Clouds, Skinny Strips, Grassy Edges

MFT Stencil: Mini Clouds

Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol

Hope you have a wonderful Holiday Weekend. We are laying low since my hubby had Rotator Cuff surgery only 2 weeks ago. ENJOY! And if you are staying at home I hope you get to do something you LOVE!

Blessings

Masculine Happy Birthday Wishes



Hello All! Today I am posting a birthday card that I created for my husband. It is my first time using the Sailing Home Stamp Set with matching dies and the Come Sail Away DSP. I had fallen in love with this set and the matching paper but found my self stumped trying to create a card. I perused Pinterest and gathered some ideas and just plowed through trying to create my own take on others designs.

After taking quite a bit of time with this card I realized I put the side panel with the ropes different then what I intended. I wanted the blue rope design on the outside edge, blah! Oh well, I just need to live with it. I'm almost sure my sweet husband will not even notice ;}


I used SU Night of Navy ink for the Lighthouse and Birds, SU Soft Suede, Night of  Navy, and Crumb Cake. The sentiment is from an older retired stamp: "Petite Pairs". I used dimensional on the Lighthouse.

1000 Piece Puzzle

  It is a beautiful puzzle,but we probably will NOT do one again. The 500 pc. ones are much more relaxing. Heres hoping you all have a great...
