Inspired Owl

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


When I saw the Inspired By Challenge to use scrappy materials from our stash,
I thought it would be a great opportunity to pare down that stash a bit.


I found this piece of corrugated cardboard that paired well with a piece from
last year's calendar.  A little string and a leftover leaf in my die envelope made
for a quick and fun card.

Since the owl was watercolored and so was the leaf, I'll add it to the gallery at

  1. I love that you used your artwork from past calendars. I had forgotten about that stamp, one of my favorites and now I need to dust him off again. Great coloring on him. That image worked so well for a fall card too!

  2. What a great way of using up some bits and pieces from your craft stash Bonnie and I adore that cute and fun owl, beautifully watercoloured, over the corrugated card, and with the string and pretty autumnal leaf it all goes together brilliantly. x

  16. Ohhh, that owl! Love him. Love love. Of course, I had to look him up. Now he's on my wish list. I have to quit coming here. If you hadn't made such a cute card with him it might be easier... Love the corrugated kraft and the leaf strung across with twine. Very fallish and certainly a fun watercolor!
