Make it Monday and Color Throwdown






I'm playing along with this week's PTI Make it Monday #83:  Card Isle Inspiration, and using the colors from this week's Color Throwdown #210

Here is the card I found at Target:


I loved the idea of a trio of owls, all stacked up.  I noticed that the middle owl was a bit of a jokester, and he was doing something different.  I used that adorable Paper Smooches owl again.   I changed the card from a Halloween card to a birthday card, and had the middle owl hold a birthday greeting balloon.  I used this week's Color Throwdown color scheme.








Supplies Used:
Stamps:  PTI Birthday Bash Sentiments, Paper Smooches Spookalicious, Hero Arts Birthday Messages
Paper:  PTI:  Kraft, Simply Chartreuse, Vintage Cream
Ink:  PTI Hawaiian Shores, Memento Rich Cocoa, VersaMark
Other:  Clear embossing Powder


Thanks for Visiting

  3. Jokester...love that! Your card is even better than the inspiration card, love that you added a birthday balloon to it. You always find the perfect stamps to use on these challenges!

  8. Another fabby fun card!!
    And look how much you saved over the store bought card...
    isn't it amazing?!!
    And so much cuter and more creative than anything you can buy!
    But sshhhh...
    don't tell...
    I use Hallmark for sympathy cards.
    I'm SO horrible with them...
    they're so hard to do...
    I just find it easier to let Hallmark do it for me.

  13. Your trio of owls are just too cute! I am guessing that since I am not an owl person, I would have never noticed that the middle guy was a jokester. Your card is so fun and festive and the colors just so bright. Just too darn cute!

  14. Hi Joyce - you picked a great card to copy, so many possibilities. I love how your owls are teetering and not stacked straight up (like I would probably do). So much more movement your way. What a fun card!
