Owl Hoot If I Want To

Hi Friends!
It's Monday and you know what that means...a new challenge over at The Pink Elephant!
This week for TPE#123, we're challenging you to do some DISTRESSING on your card or project. All you have to do is show us some form of the distressing technique and then upload your project to Mr. Linky.

AND this week we are sponsored by Clear Dollar Stamps so you could win some of these adorable stamps of your very own, just for participating!

For my card I've used Birthday Fall Critters, which is digi set of 10 stamps!! I've paired the adorable owl image with papers from MME paper pad Darling Dear and one of the 6 sweet sentiments from this set. For Mr. Bday Owl I took a lesson from my dear friend and fellow teammate, Lori Boyd and outlined the image with a darker shade of cardstock and laid him upon some buttons from Basic Grey. I just LOVE this technique that Lori introduced us to with her some of her latest creations, so I had to try it for myself. This card is also a very special one, because it's a Birthday card for my DEAR friend, Jeanette! Her birthday was just a little bit ago, but I couldn't share her card until today! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you'll join in on the fun this week over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog! Be sure and check out all the amazing Clear Dollar Stamp inspirations that Ella's Girls have for you!
