Time to go Wild!

The heart 2 heart challenge this week is Go Wild!  Use wildlife in your project.  click here to see what the design team and other players have come with.  Here is my card:

I used CTMH stamp set C1362 You're a Hoot for the owl and branch images.  C1323 Whooo loves you for the sentiment.  The paper is a retired CTMH paper pack called X7112B Animal Cookies.  I added the Z1377 Kraft Color-Ready Borders from the new catalog and a wooden button Z1387 also from the new catalog.  I stamped the owl in Desert Sand ink and then stamped the branch in Topiary ink.  I colored in the beak with sunflower yellow marker and the flower shaped eyes with Dutch Blue marker.  Then added two red mini-brads for the centers of the eyes.  All the background papers are ink distressed with desert sand ink.  The heart is a chipboard piece that I colored with Tulip ink.
Enjoy this weeks challenge - get wild!

I'm posting a Teacher Appreciation gift that I made back in May for one of our wonderful teachers at my kid's school.
It is a package that holds four 3"x3" cards with matching envelopes and three chocolate nuggets (because everyone can use a little chocoltate).  I used the Animal Cookies paper pack (the colors just remind me of school colors) and various stamp sets.  So fun to make.

Now let's see what wonderful ideas you have made.  Be sure to post on the Heart2heart blog.
