Bloggers Challenge #58 - Colorful Owl Occasions


Ohhh, this weeks challenge was to use Rose Red, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive...I am pretty sure I didn't miss any this week! ;) I am NOT "feeling" these colors, but my girlfriend Janeen came over last night and LOVED the card, sooo maybe it isn't as bad as I think!? Not sure....

Anyways, I decided to use Olivia the owl this week from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps - I just love her but I can't seem to get her to look as good as others do when using the DP to decorate her. But I am "TRYING" - never give up - that is what I tell my kids.

Anyways, this is what I used on this card -
Stamp Set: Owl Occasions by Sweet 'n Sassy stamps, Rough texture Jumbo Wheel SU, Floral BG
Cardstock and Ink: Rose Red, Old Olive, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Prints Pack,
Accessories: Felt Flowers, Paper Piercing Tool, Wheels, Fire Circles Brads, Mini glue dots, Pumpkin grosgrain, Dimensionals, Coluzzle, Distresser

Thank you so much for stopping by to look and comment. Your comments make my day! Be sure to check out the other Blogger Challenge participants projects with this challenge. They always amaze me with their wonderful variety of ideas! Have a great day!

Ya know what...it is a day later and this card is growing on me...LOL It is not the lay out or design, but the colors throw me. :) Thank you for looking and cheering me on! LOL

I don't know what your problem is Chrissy. I think you card is great. Felt flowers, distressed edges, paper piercing, paper piecing, great layout. Okay, so what's not to like about this sweet card?

Well I'm thinking you may just have to rethink your idea about this card because I see nothing wrong with it at all. It's very cute. Lots of great elements that Barb has already mentioned.

I think it's an adorable card, Chirssy! What a hootin' precious owl that is, with such a funny expression on its face! Glad you could play along this week...there were very few of us around. :)

I think it it looks great. I know what you mean about the colors. Some combos just don't do it for me, but you did a nice job with this and I think the DP Olivia is perfect :).
