Been Creatin'

So, today is Kevin's birthday and I always make him a card for every occasion (with the exception of this past Valentine's Day) so here's the card I made for him this year:

What I used and where to find it if you are interested:

The card was made using the striped paper from Lettering Delight's Gone Fishin' paper pack, I got the branch from a dingbat in their Woodsy collection, and the font is DB Kerri which can be found at Scrap N' Fonts until May 5th when it's gone for good. Oh, and of course the owl is from GreatHands Designs which is me! Ü I don't know if you can tell by the picture but the owl is adhered using pop dots (small circular adhesive 'pads' that help your item stick to your creation while lifting it up off the page slightly) to give it some dimension. The leaves are only adhered at the tips with glue and have been bent up and slightly folded in the middle also to give it some dimension. I also sponged the sides of all the leaves, tree branch, owl and sentiment banner.

It felt really good to finally make a paper card. It had been too long but I'm pretty happy with it even if the picture doesn't do it justice. And if you read the previous paragraph you would have seen that I made the owl myself (yes, I'm a bit proud). I've been working on him for a while (creating him in Photoshop) and making a kit around him (kit meaning coordinating papers and other elements that one could use for card making or scrapbooking or whatever you can think of). I think he's ultra cute and that's why I want to share him with you all. I'm still working on the other papers and things for his kit so I guess we'll just call him a tease. And who knows. Maybe I'll update him a little but here he is for now:
