Owl Card by Renee Wayland

Renee Wayland has the cutest owl card on her blog:   http://www.paperrenee.com/

She had posted it on Facebook so I sent her a comment and told her I'd be scraplifting it for sure since I had the same paper she'd used.  Of course, when I looked for the owl printed paper, it's nowhere to be found! 

So, I took her concept and used my SU owl punch to make my interpretation of her card.

The brown ric-rack shape that I used for the branch was done with a SU scalloped edge punch using a technique I saw on Youtube.  It's super simple to do, once you get the hang of it!

Thanks, Renee for sharing your card layout!  Keep them coming, I need inspiration!  LOL!

3 X 3 Note Card

Renee Wayland sent me a roll of ATG tape to try out.  It's one that has heavier adhesive on it than the kind that I use.  This darling little 3 x 3 note card was inside the package with the tape.  Don't you think the color combination is just great? 

To me, this is an excellent example of "less being more".  The colors and patterns on the paper must make this card special!  I sent Renee a message and told her I was going to post her card on here since I think it's just too cute not to share!

Thanks, Renee!  Not only for being nice enough to send me the tape to try out, but for this cute card too!  It's going into my "ideas" folder so I can reference back to it when I'm looking for inspiration!
