Owl Birthday Card

Hello Everyone, hope you all had a good weekend! It's been a busy one for me with my Dad's birthday (he liked his card - hoorah) and another friend's birthday whose card I am sharing today (she also liked it - double hoorah!)

Anyway she likes owls so obviously it had to be an owl related card:
 So this is a 6x6 kraft card, I inked a square piece of yellow card with Dusty Concord, Broken China and Faded Jeans DI!
 I found a nice picture of an owl on MCS CD rom, printed it out and then foiled it with silver foil! Then I cut it out with my Nesties (labels 5 i think) and did some inking through the die, as well as making a faux nestie out of purple cardstock by drawing round the die and cutting it out.
 I used my Parisian Accent corners and the border to add a bit more interest, as well as some paper flowers and a nice bit of swirly bling which I used the bazzil templates and stuck each rhinestone on

Really like how it turned out!
Speak Soon
