owl be clean and simple

this is the first time i have played along with caardvarks, and the challenge this time is 'clean and simple' - sounds easy enough, right? i think sometimes i fluctuate between clean and simple and just crazy!



i do love owls, and it's been a while since i worked with fabric and scra-fts (that's my new shorthand for scrapbooking related crafts!), so i wanted to give it a whirl! i just hand cut the owl with some fabric scraps, and sewed the legs by hand. as for the final touchof the owl, i thought two button eyes would be the cherry on top! for the border of my card, i used my sewing machine - something i always love to do!



the saying was stamped on with my hero arts individual letters, and vwa-la! well, almost vwa-la...i tried to resist using a tiny heart...i really, really did...but alas, as you can see, i decided to add one on anyway! *whistle*

see? easy peasy and simple too!
enjoy!
