Wise Old Birthday Owl...

A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard -Unknown

I was finally able to play along with the Blogger's Challenge ON TIME this week! :) This week's challenge was a sketch, my favorite kind of challenge!! I pulled out the last of my Basic Grey Porcelain Paper and a fun Inkadinkado Sleepy Owl...the owl is colored with Copics and than I added stickles (Of course!) I added a touch of orange to the owl and a strip of paper for this week's Ways to Use it Challenge on SCS. The strip of light orange paper is stamped with a Prima cheesecloth stamp and on top of that is a small scrap of Brown Twill Ribbon (does this qualify for The Pink Elephant Challenge to use ribbon? I think so! LOL) and the sentiment is by Rachelle Anne Miller for Stampavie...

I added one of my favorite sentiments from Verve's Beautiful You to the inside...
Supplies:
Stamps: Inkadinkado Sleepy Owl, Verve Beautiful You, Stampavie Sentiments
Paper: Basic Grey Porcelain, Textured Brown, Orange, Stampers Select White
Ink: Marigold Morning, Memento Rich Cocoa
Misc: Twill Ribbon, Prima Flowers, Bling, Stickles

Thanks for stopping by!
