Owl You Need is Love

Hello Blogger Friends! Happy Sunday to you. Hope your weekend is going well and that you had some time to get crafty. 

I was able to get into my craft room yesterday for a bit and finish up some Valentine cards. I usually make about 8-9 cards and give them to our guy friends for their wives. They appreciate it plus it saves them from having to go to the store and look through a myriad of cards. 

I have friends coming over in a bit so this is a short post. I am sharing one of the Valentine cards I made. I did more of the whimsical ones this year. Sometimes that's just how it works out. 

So this one was done with the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #1037. We were to use basic black, balmy blue and melon mambo for her color trio. Optional was Valentine's.

I started my card with a new to me die from Lawn Fawn. It's the "heart garland backdrop die". I cut it in melon mambo cardstock and layered it over a piece of balmy blue designer paper from the Stampin' Up "beautiful bokeh" collection. 

Next, I decided to use a Christmas Owl die from CottageCutz and turned them to the next holiday- Valentine's Day. They were cut in some allowed neutrals. Instead of an orange beak I used melon mambo.

Stamped my sentiment in basic black and this card was complete. I like making Valentine cards using non-traditional colors. And I also like how this one turned out. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time......God bless.
