Last week I was pet sitting for my neighbor's three dogs and two cats. She asked me to take the dogs on a walk three times a day for about an hour. (she paid me very well) She is an excellent trainer so her dogs are a dream to care for but what I didn't realize was that I would become fresh meat on feet for dozens of bugs!!! I never saw them, never felt them bite me until about three days later. I am COVERED with itchy bites! I am sure, I haven't itched this much since I had chickenpox at seven. Well what in the world does this story have to do with my card? Not so much the what, but the when! All week I have been taking Benadryl and been in a daze which meant card projects have been made at the VERY last minute! I was up in the wee hours for this one so I had the chance to play along with Audrie's IC611 challenge.
I don't know how Audrie does it week after week but she chose another fabulous site. Not only are the pics inspirational but there are a wealth of tips on that site. I have a Fitbit but have never stopped by their blog before. I will from now on. I am eager to try some recipes. My inspiration photo can be found if you scroll to the bottom of THIS page.
I used a fun stamp set from The Project Bin called New Leaf. Isn't this sentiment a hoot???
I used two distress inks and masked the moon. I tried a third but it changed the darkest color to purple and for this card I was looking for dark blue so I used Memento. I stamped, cut out the owl and popped him up on the branch.
For a little more info and another look at this card you can view My Blog.

Oh my goodness, you have the cutest card. Love the long length style. I am so sorry about the bites. And, oh the walks.....well, I guess that was good for your health.

How cute, Angie! So sorry about the bug bits! Yikes! I'm so allergic to insects, I'd probably be in the hospital! And wow..the price of the epi pen has gone out of sight (& out of reach!).

Great card and great story! Lovely colors on your bg. Perhaps, you are allergic to the animals or maybe, they had fleas. Hated to say that but my daughter used to break out in horrible hives from our two German Shepherds. After a trip to a pediatric allergist, we hired an exterminator and started giving the dogs Vit B12... she eventually outgrew that.
