Who? Hoo, Loves Ya, Baby?

Hello my delightful friends and family! I love ya and I'm lovin' this fun card I made for the Play Date Cafe challenge this week! I was not lovin' it last night though, I was ready to pull out a hand full of hair!! (ack!) I finally had to just give it up for the night, ever have one of those nights??? But today is a brand new day! Yay!! And after a little talk with the Lord and an attitude adjustment on my part, here is my production (completely different from what I had last night, although the owls are the same):

Challenge

(definitely enlarge this to see the details!)

PDCC#42

I had to shoot the pic outside in a tree!

Hope ya love my little owls, aren't they adorable! I cut these from some designer paper I have from Jillybean Soup (Talk Soup collection - Ramble). Background paper is Bazzill cardstock for the card base and Basic Grey's Archaic line that I embossed with my Cuttlebug and the Traffic Jam folder and used another pattern for the matting of the sentiment. I've stamped the Unity Stamp Co. bracket (on BG paper of the same collection), the tree and sentiment are also from the Unity Stamp Co. ( "Owl Always Love You" set). Memento, rich cocoa ink was used to stamp. I popped up the owl and part of the branch for a bit of dimension. Can ya believe it, no buttons or ribbon (oh my!) but I still think there is enough texture and uniqueness to make ya smile :-)

Thanks for looking and leaving a delightful comment, they make me smile inside and out! Have a great week, God bless!
