I Give a Hoot

Photo Details

Poster: bfinlay

This is for today's tea party challenge, to make a card with owls to send encouragement to Marie, who loves owls. I used a tree embossing folder with a computer generated sentiment, and then added a popped up owl which was colored with copics. I added a button which had large holes for tying a ribbon knot.
This owl is one of Irish cousins from the O'Whooterihan clan, he's a distant relative of the McWhoolisters and the McWhooters and when someone in the family, no matter how distant they are, needs help, those Irish cousins come to the rescue!
I really wasn't sure whether this sentiment was too "cheeky" for the circumstances so I made another owl card just in case - maybe you could let me know what you think?

Cheeky? Isn't that all part of our fun? I love it & think it's a hoot! Tfs.

I love this card, cheeky sentiment and all!! Which by the way isn't cheeky, but appropriate for the owl! You come up with some of the best ef's!

Have fun and be creative!

Wonderful use of an embossing folder. I love the pink and brown.

Oh goodness, I think this is the card I'd send. The other one, I already said, is gorgeous and has a really classy style, but this is sheer FUN and that's got to be good for someone in Marie's situation.

Ha ha! I knew some Irishowls would be here! Giggle! What fun to see the 'OWhooterihan's up close and personal.......they are a might more colorful than the average owl....a little pink around the eyes...but the green shoulder pads are a dead giveaway, that Irish Green!

I think this is precious....and we will see what Fran's comment here brings but I think it would be fine to send to Marie as I understand she has a pretty good sense of humor! And let's face it, it says YOU care....and you do or you would not be here! Its a precious card...I am off to see the other!
