This is my card for my Monday morning CCEE challenge.
This is my story:
1. That stinker Tosh (stamps4funinCA) made all our challenges technique challenges this month. I don't do well with techniques and just as soon stay away from them. No worries, I plan to get even!
2. This week it was to do Faux Silk. What the heck is that? Oh yeah, and Cindy Haffner said you got bonus points if you used an owl on your card which I did! Whoo Hoo! Gotta love those bonus points!
3. What? Where's the owl? Well, working with tissue paper is sort of a pain, its lightweight and sorta *flighty*. Working with the fan going in my stamp room, I had tissue paper flying every where!
4. This big old flower that I made for another card was flying around my stamp room and came down smack dab on my cute little faux silk owl! Covered him and his branches totally up! Darn it!
5. No worries, I will still get the bonus points. My CCEE friends know that I would never make up a *story* like that! They totally trust me!
6. I made this card for Patricia in Georgia. She is a colon cancer patient. PM me for the address if you would like to send a card.
If you would like to Faux Silk with us the details (including a link to the instructions) are on our CCEE blog. Just make sure you turn your fan off!

First and foremost, #1 goofball, you typed the wrong keyword (you need 7_14). Initially, I couldn't find your card and I got worried that you were gonna get the grand-daddy of ALL buzzers today.
Second, I can see just a teensy-weensy bit of owl feathers from underneath your gorgeous bloom, so I believe ya that your owl is there. I know you would NEVER ever tell falsehoods.
Last, and most important of all, this gorgeous card is really gonna brighten Patricia's day! I love it, Gertie, and you *done* real good with the faux silk technique. I knew you had it in you!

Cindy, this is just drop dead gorgeous. I love how you colored it. I never got around to using this stamp myself and now I so regret that. You make it look so pretty.

Obviously there are many who are fooled by your sweetness!! I, however, know the other side of Cindy, and do not believe for a minute that there is an owl on this card. So, you DO NOT get a prize from Hoots. No extra points for you!! Especially considering all the whining you are doing. You are going to join BamBam's club if ya don't watch it, cause this is a beauty, and she always whines and complains and cranks out masterpieces too. Love that flower!! And I'm honored that I can help you step out of your box so you can discover this untapped part of your talent!! You can thank me later!! *grin*
