Well, I am back, and I can hardly believe I managed a second card today! Audries' choice for the IC today is just too inspired! Thank you again, fearless leader.
Humor me if you will, there is always a story in my art. This one cost me .89 cents at noon at the Goodwill. I was running some errands and stopped by my local Goodwill looking for something my husband needed. While I was there I 'happened' upon the crafty section. And I spied a tee-tiny sugar packet size of Close to My Heart stamps...I am talking small. 3 stamps for under a dollar. Of course I am using one of them on this card! My brain matter was in full aerobic mode. I could hardly wait to get home, dig out the little owl and the branch to create this card!!!
The branch was colored with the TH markers of several hues of browns. Stamped it three times. The sentiment was inked with Memento. That adorable little owl was colored with Copics and the Spica Black Glitter pen and his eyes were fun flocked. And popped up on pop dots. Added the paper ribbon and done.
This will go to a sweet co-worker who needs a little reminder I'll be there for her.
Oh ya, and that item I was hunting for my dear husband...no luck this time...
Thanks for your comments, all.
