For the Tuesday Teapot Challenge which is about owls. This is the 133rd challenge and back in 2008 the 12th teapot challenge was also about owls. I didn't have an owl stamp back then and guess what--I still don't! I used an fold I had used when teaching kdg and it worked well so that is the same fold I used today. The flower is handmade. I wished I had waited until tomorrow and photographed in a better light but oh well.
Some of our teapot challenge cards are going to Marie in New York who is a quadriplegic as a result of progressive MS. See here for more info. MMTPT133 ~ MCWHOO AND MCWHOOLISTER SITTING IN A TREE! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers

Great folded owl for Marie. I sometimes fall back to some of my classrooom ideas for my cards too. LOL Who knew classroom projects I used 10 years ago would come in handy for cards made now. Love the way you added the border punch for his chest feathers. Beautiful homemade flower.

Wow, talk about creativity. Your owl is the bomb! I love your flower as well. The texture, shading and style of this card is fabulous and so creative. Love it.

You know, I really do love this. I love the paper folding and the way you've decorated your owl - and the flower is just the perfect touch. Whoooo needs stamps!!!
