I REALLY like the layout of my card! I wasn't sure at first but I am so happy with how it came together!! The layout is from Lauren's Sketch Saturday. No, no original thought today!
The base of my card is Whisper White but I completely covered it with a blue from some old Chatterbox decorative paper I had. I used my scalloped scissors to cut the bottom and added a small piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock to the bottom. All of the decorative papers are from Chatterbox and were matted with Chocolate Chip cardstock. The focal image is the owl from this DARLING Playful Animals stamp set from Hero Arts. I stamped the owl using Chocolate Chip ink on Whisper White cardstock. I then cut and embossed the circle using my Nestabilities. I then cut a scalloped circle, also with my Nestabilities, to mat the owl on. I added another circle under the scalloped circle of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I colored Mr. Owl using my Prismacolor Pencils and then added glitter to the owls eyelashes and edges of the leaves using my Sakura Stardust Clear glitter pen. I mounted this on the front of the card using dimensionals. The flowers are from Prima and the blue rhinestones are Hero Arts Light Blue Gemstones. Oh, the sentiment is also included in the Playful Animals set! You can find all of the stamps and accessories (except the flowers & Nestabilities) at Stampers Dream.
I hope to have my tutorials ready tomorrow for you so be sure and check back! I hope you have a great day!

That's great work on the sketch! I'm behind on my challenges :-( But I do usually love Lauren's sketches, this one is no exception. That animal set is great!
