This morning, I woke up with a full blown head cold...I mean, I'm stuffed up so much that my TEETH hurt! YUCK...Speedy the Cat must have known, because there was a package of DayQuil in the SINK this morning! (For all you pet lovers out there, the meds in our house are kept in a cabinet with a door knob! I have no clue how Speedy the Cat got that door open!)
So, I took two DayQuil and started this card....About half way through, I noticed that Olivia needed a branch! I went outside and took one off my "snowman twig bush!" I added Prima leaves and flowers! (Thank YOU CindyL!!!!)
Olivia OWL was stamped on Watercolor paper and colored in with SU! markers. I used an aqua painter to blend.
The circles/scallops are Nestibilities. The Scalloped circle was outlined in Gold Paint Pen! (Thank you NANCYRUTH for that idea!)
Dots were added with a marker and Inkssentials pen!

Hey Faith, I'm with you on the head cold.. Feel like crap too...
I love the colors that you've used on this gorgeous card. The greens are so awesome. I like the image, the branch with the leaves and flowers, the gems on the scalloped cirble and that fab ribbon. This one is a fav for me......

Faith, this is so pretty! Love all your dp! Cool branch! Hey, I just saw on the Martha Stewart show that if you peel two cloves of garlic, let them sit for about ten minutes then swallow them whole your cold will be going away real soon! Don't know how Speedy the Cat might react to the smell! Great card! TFS :0)

Oh my, fabulous card Faith. Hope you feel better soon. I love Olivia the owl and the little branch she is perched on. Love the colours, pretty ribbon, dewdrops, dots and layout. tfs
