I hope you're feeling OWL better

I used my Cricut to create this card. The owl was cut from the Just Because Cards cartridge and the branch he is sitting on was cut from the Create a Critter cartridge. 
I love using my Cricut when I need to come up with something quickly, as was the case for this card because I forgot that we had changed themes from Celebrations to Owls. I had made a card and prepared a post with a birthday card, which I will still post because they are always useful, but then I had to come up with a card that worked for the Owl theme in a hurry.

I added some googly eyes and glossy accent to the owl's beak and feet, wrote up a sentiment on some labels cut with Spellbinders dies and my Cuttlebug, cut a border with a Fiskars border punch and nobody would have been any the wiser, except maybe for the owl (ha ha).

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the card. Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what another designer comes up with.

  3. Cute card, Linda. I don't use my Cricut nearly enough, but I think that's going to change soon. Love the sentiment; I know I'll be 'borrowing' that one. :)
