Owl week...


I have a friend who has always been a lover of owls and this week she reaches the grand old age of 60!!!  Scary - I am a couple of years younger, but it made me realise just how time is passing and that perhaps I ought to start being more sensible.

Hmmm, maybe next year!!

As it's a more special birthday she even gets a pull out tag - thought the hidden '60th' was a good idea incase she goes into shock and doesn't want to see '60' everywhere.


Materials used...
  • Papers - magazine freebie Lilli of the Valley
  • Flowers - die free in magazine
  • Swirls - die maker unknown
  • Owl stamp and sentiment by Woodware
  • Sentiment on tag - computer generated 
  • Tag - a Marianne die (I think)
  • Coloured using Promarkers
Challenges ...
Have a creative day whatever you are up to.

Great idea to hide the 60!
I turned 60 in March and I did not mind at all, but I know some do.

This is a poretty little card. My daughter loves owl and I have a new stamp I should try out.
I also have a ticker on my blog tracking the flowers I manage to use up so this would be a good design to cross 3 more off the list!

I am very behind in my goal to use up 365 flowers this year. I need to start making a ton of cards with vases full of flowers! lol

Hi Ann,
This is so pretty. I love the owl & those lovely flowers. I like that the tag is a nice discrete way to mention your friend's age. I'm sure she'll love it. Thanks for joining us at Passion For Promarkers this week.
Hugs,
Andie xx
BTW, sensible can wait!
