This card is for CPS Sketch #69 ... It was fun to work on a long, tall sketch this morning.
I broke out my Basic Grey Sugared DP along with new stamps from Inkadinkado (Birds Galore) and Hero Arts (Long Bracket Messages). My Gran collected owls when I was young, so this card will be heading her way.
I also added some metallic words from Basic Grey and an epoxy sticker I've had so long that I have no idea who makes it (don't you love when you get to use up those little bits that have been hanging around forever). The finished card is 4" x 7" and will fit in a regular business-sized envelope.
A big shout out to my brother & sister-in-law who let us use their non-restricted water supply this morning to take our first showers in several days ... wow it felt good. When we returned home, we got the good news that the City has been able to increase the water output, and we can now take a shower on even-numbered days (since our house number is an even-number). Wooo hoo!
Love your long card - great colors on the DP's - and fun stamps!
Yikes on the water rationing - guess I won't tell you that we had a downpour today!

What a darling card! Love the owl! I can't even imagine what the water shortage supply must be like. We had one last summer and fall but it was never as extreme as yours. Wishing you and your family the best!

Love, love, love this card.
What is it with owls?
Why are they so cool?
Maybe they really do know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.
