I am 2 weeks late in giving my Godchild her 13th birthday present and card - she was away then I was away - but I'm hoping to finally give it to her tomorrow at church and I didn't have her card done yet so today's challenge gave me the push to make it!
And it's actually a little box rather then just a flat card. The die is from Sizzix and I bought it a couple of years ago but have not made one yet!!
I die cut the body and wings out of whitish/pinkish glitter card stock and the other pieces out of Winter Wisteria. I added the die cut, personalized balloon with the owl holding the end of the twine in her wing!
What more could a 13 year old girl want than glitter and purple?! Maybe some cash tucked inside??
Hope everyone in the US had a great Thanksgiving and has not broken the bank with black Friday shopping! Personally, I don't go anywhere near a store this whole weekend!!
ETA!!! I just noticed I used brown twine instead of purple - it was getting dark in my craft room and I guess I grabbed the wrong piece! I'll be changing that out if I can without ruining the balloon!!

This is such a cute owl box. Yes, I bet cash would really be a hit along with this fun creation.

Julia, this is so special. What a great way to present money or a gift card. Glitter and an owl figure box - wonderfully done. My Godchild turned 13 this past week too. I gave her a gift card in a bag with tissue - good thing she can't check out your box! Love this and I know your Godchild will too. Hugz
