I have a quick share today, I combined a few fun challenges to create this card and it looks absolutely nothing like the original plan…. it started out as a birthday cake but that’s a long story so I won’t bore you with the details lol.


Anyhoo, I created my own background for the current Build a Background challenge at ABNH, using the colour and star inspiration from Jacquie’s card at Muse and finally Lisa’s Wanna Sketch for the layout (which I flipped)…. phew…
I’m still out to lunch on this one but it was fun to make. Hope you have a great weekend planned, I’m on 4 days off and hope to get a little crafty.
Other Supplies: Rhinestones – Yellow. Copics – T0. Y21,38.
Super gorgeous BG ! Loved the inking and perfect combination of colors 🙂
Lol.. I love how you said it started out as a birthday cake. I think we have all been there, but this owl card is AMAZING. I love how you did the stars and how you layered your elements inspired by wanna sketch. I always LOVE your cards… ALWAYS.
Just awesome – love that little owl on that piece of wood! Much better than a birthday cake 😉
What a fabulous background, Therese … and such a cute wee owl … he looks very contented perched on the wood … p’raps he ate the cake!! Anita 🙂
Love how your birthday cake turned out! Brilliant idea to use the vellum for the moon!
I can see how this might have been a Birthday cake *wink*!
Cakes aside – this is adorable, Therese – love the vellum moon – perfect 🙂
Love the starry inked background & vellum moon Therese!
A very effective background, great colours, sweet owl, all good. I really like the vellum and the woodgrain banner as well. It’s so nice when it all comes together so beautifully, and sometimes even better when it’s not the original plan…Di
Love your card Therese – your little owl is so sweet and your background looks amazing xx
Very cute. I’ve nearly bought that set a few times.
This is great, Therese. I love your cute little owl and all the elements work great together. I love the vellum for the moon, what a fab idea! x
Love the starry background, love the strip of woodgrain paper, love the vellum moon, love the cute-as anything owl! Thanks so much for joining us at A Blog Named Hero!!
Oh, this is so cute, Therese! I love your background and your vellum ‘moon’ is perfect with that darling owl!
Your card is adorable! I love the embossing and the woodgrain washi really adds dimension to the card. Thanks for joining us at A Blog Named Hero 🙂
Those are some of the best cards ever, almost like a crafty game of telephone where the end result doesn’t resemble the beginning at all 🙂 LOVE the colours!
This is just adorable!!!!! Thanks for playing with us over at A Blog Named Hero!
Hi! My name is Yolanda and from this time I am following you because this card is sooooo fantastic! Since the moment I saw it in “A Blog Named Hero” I fell in love to it!!!! Wow!!
Oh my goodness! This is a fabulous card! I love the background you’ve created. That little owl is adorable sitting on the woodgrain across the vellum moon.
I LOVE this. Great layout and colours and the vellum piece looks great – it creates a great frame for the owl. Very clever.
