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

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!

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

I love that scruffy little owl - for some reason, he just speaks to my heart! Beautifully coloured and wonderful background with the corrugated cardboard and leaf.

What is it about owls that tug at my heart? Your card combines two of my loves, Bonnie, owls and rustic. Love this card!!

WOW! All the elements are so beautifully composed. They create a very harmonious card with earth elements. And the owl is wonderful, I love its tousled feather-fur :-)

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!
