I had played with last week's Mojo Monday sketch along with the colour challenge on SplitCoast Stampers. I haven't played in their colour challenges for a while ... I find the pressure of a one day challenge too much. Yes, I know I have until the next colour challenge a week later, but it doesn't always feel like it, YKWIM? Anyways, I uploaded this one on SCS and am finally getting to upload it here!

Loved the layout, nice and detailed and fun, eh? I stamped the Dot to Dot background stamp over the Perfect Plum card stock using Chocolate Chip craft ink and then embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder. I've finally mastered how to line that stamp up with itself after serious time practising ... ugh. Lots of wasted paper!

I stamped the owl on watercolour paper, coloured it, coated it with versa mark and embossed it with clear embossing powder all before I cut it out and put it on the focal square. I had seen on Diana Gibbs' blog, a cute card using a giraffe hidden in and amongst the branches and thought that was a FAB idea and just had to use it!

Anyways, hope you like the card! Thanks for visiting and letting me know what YOU think :)

That is one fab card! I love the polka dot background! And those soft, pretty colours together. I should really do this colour challenge - it might be the only time this year I'll use my plum inkpads and cardstocks!

The dotty background looks SUPERB! Love Choc Chip on plum - haven't done that, so thanks for the inspiration! The owl is adorable. Gorgeous card, Renee :)

What a great card. I love the colors and the way you have done the ribbon. The greeting is one I haven't see before. I like it.

As always, your cards inspire me to "good works"!
