Birthday Owl!

It's the first Saturday of the month, so time for a new Crafty Calendar Challenge.  The theme this month is Anything Goes and our generous sponsors are All Dressed Up  and  Crafty Ribbons.


All Dressed Up kindly gave the DT digi stamps to work with and I chose to use Christmas Owl.  I thought the image would be perfect for lots of occasions and I decided to make a birthday card.  The image was coloured with Promarkers and a couple of Ultra Fine Sharpies.  I made the brown mat with a Spellbinders 'Leafy Squares' die and attached a green square of card behind.  The patterned paper is from a Papermania 'Secret Garden' paper pad.  The flower and leafs are die cuts from Lisa Horton's first box kit.

The Crafty Calendar Challenge ends on 28th January, so plenty of time to join in.  Please pop over to the blog to see all the beautiful creations the DT have made. 

I am joining in the following challenges:

  14. Hi Liz, apologies for being so late to pop over and comment - am well behind with everything blogland but slowly catching up! Have been having a wander through all the cards I've not managed to see before and they are wonderful! Love the owl here, the shaped previous card and the butterfly bookmark on the next, all such clever ideas and lovely cards. Also belated Happy New Year wishes coming your way! Sarah
