you're a hoot


I found this fantastic sketch over at Lizzie Anne Designs today and knew I had to use it. Since it's St. Patrick's Day, I had to use some green, right? This darling little owl is from Branching Out Coordinates from a new stamp line, Whimsical Wishes, available at Taylored Expressions. I love this stamp set with it's quirky sayings - You're a hoot! I started this card out thinking I'd make a masculine card with all these greens and browns, but see what happened? Ribbon... scallops... Oh well! I think a man could still recieve it, don't you?

Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day - are you wearing green today?
