Colour Q Happy Birthday Owl

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend! We had a wonderful visit with my parents this weekend! My boys were in Grannie and Papa heaven! My youngest whined for most for the afternoon that he wanted to go to Grannie and Papa's house...

I decided to tackle the Colour Q challenge this week. I have only tackled this challenge once before and wanted to give it a whirl again. I apologize now that the photo is a little pale. I took it at night when the lighting was sub par!

I made a card using the "required" colours and absolutely HATED it! Does this happen to anyone else or just me?! I then thought about making a cute little owl since I love the two-step owl punch from Stampin' Up! I must prefer this card to the first one!! Hope you enjoy it as well!

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week!


Supplies:
Cardstock: Pool Party, Poppy Parade, More Mustard, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Basic Black (owl eyes)
DSP: A retired SU one....I forget the name
Stamps: Curly Cute
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Pool Party Bakers Twine, Scalloped Circle Punch, Circle Punch, 2-Step Owl Punch, Houndstooth Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

CAS-ual Fridays Birthday

Hello!
I love CAS (Clean and Simple) cards...they totally fit my personality...which is kind of sad!  I found the CAS-ual Friday's sketch a little bit of a stretch for me this week since I had to use opposite colours!  It is fun to stretch the imagination!

The goal of CAS cards is to have a fair bit of "white" space...that being said the "white" space doesn't necessarily have to be white...I tend to prefer white for whatever reason!!!

Anyhow,  I wanted to use my Mixed Bunch stamp set again...I love this set and find I can use it for so much and get so many different cards out of it.  I also used my Melon Embossing Powder on this card to add a little extra something!



Thanks for stopping by!  Hopefully I'll have a Mojo Monday card for you tomorrow!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie
Stamps: Mixed Bunch, Curly Cute
Ink: Basic Black, Versamark
Other: Melon Embossing Power, Brights Button, Floss, Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Dimensionals
