While on vacation we visited a zoo near Cape May, NJ. Although I don't usually enjoy seeing animals in zoo cages, they did have a beautiful white owl there. Owls are one of my favorite birds. I just wish they were not so hard to spot in nature.
Beccy's Place had a free owl digi available quite some time ago, and I decided to use it for a card to enter in Beccy's Place August Anything Goes Challenge.
I came across this fellow while organizing my stash, printed a long time ago and never used. I also found a pile of negatives I had salvaged and a package of ProMarkers I won and never used. It didn't take much more to create this card... a sentiment stamped and cut apart, some metal stick on buttons, a bow, faux stitching, and a kraft card base.

Your card is very clever Debi... I didn't even realise I was looking at the negative die cut until I read it in your blurb. I think that's a great use of what would normally be thrown away. I love the addition of the buttons and the sentiment is very cute. Well done!
