Today's card is for Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge over at Mark's Finest Papers. The challenge is to use a 3 dimensional flower either Prima, Silk, or paper punched. I made my own paper punched flowers with a Marvy flower punch.
Card Recipe:
Punches: Martha Stewart Ribbon Loop Punch Around the Page, Branch and Frond Punch.
Cuttlebug: Embossing Folder Script Texture, Vintage Dies
Spellbinders: Labels 10
Misc: Blue rhinestones, ribbon, copic markers, black soot distress ink, denim distress ink.
My image is from Mark's Finest Papers and is called Here Comes the Grad. Isn't this owl cute!!! I gave this card to my son for his HS Graduation. Those were his school colors. Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon and have a great weekend!

A challenge to use a flower - how difficult that must have been for you! (Wink, wink!) Great card - true Bearzi style with all that glorious punching. Cute owl - congrats to your son. BTW, how was your cruise?!?! Hugz.

Gorgeous Bearzi style! Your punched roses are beautiful and I love the loop punch. I've been looking for that one. Now I'm thinking I might have to get the flower punch too! Wonder if I could make as pretty of roses then!!!
Congratulations to your son!

Bearzi, I've been MIA for a couple days as in-laws in town and look what you've gone and done. YEP, another GLORIOUS creation that only you can make. I bet you could throw the best part in town. Let me know when and I'll show up okay? The flowers are gorgeous as well as all your colors, layers and the cute owls. I know you son loved this card for his graduation. Another child out of the coop? Or, are there others still to go? TFS and Hugs!

What a stunning graduation card. Makes me want to go graduate from something so you can send me a card. I love the sentiment on the bottom and all the pretty flowers. In this economy - that sentiment is even more true. Congrats to your son! My baby turned 16 today - makes me realize how short a time I have before she is off to college. I am sad already! Love your card Bearzi!!!!!
