Moxie fab challenge: beads & baubles



I've never played along with "Tuesday Trigger," but the photo is beautiful!  It would have been a shame to sit this one out...


I picked out the wavy line separating the background, all of the gorgeous flowers, and that little owl on the right.  And here's what I came up with:

I hand-tore a strip of basic grey patterned paper and glued it to a vintage cream base.  The focal point is a kraft tag sale 5 die (sorry to repeat from yesterday, but I love the shape!  And also, I had cut two, lol.)  A few MFT dienamics rosettes, with pearled centers, and a lovely brown owl (from SU's "aviary" set) were adhered to the tag.  The finishing touch is the sentiment, from lawn fawn's "on the mend."

I hope you like it!

    What a great card. I've never done that challenge either, but I think you've done a wonderful job with it. LOVE that little owl, of course. I've got him, too. (Are you thinking what I'm thinking?)

    Wow. This week will be my 3rd Trigger in a row, I am loving them, so pop by my blog (click on my name) and check them out... But I love what you did! I wish I had some flowers like that I can use, because that's exactly what I want!

    Also, I love how you interpreted that bead as an owl. I thought it was some acorn-y berry like thing... but I totally see how you got owl from it!

    Gorgeous creation!
