Card Recipe:
Image - Cozy Winter Owl
Paper - The Guy Stack by DCWV
Medium - Copic Markers
Jeweled Brads - Recollections by Michaels
Ribbon - Stash
Border Punch - French Scroll by Martha Stewart
Sentiment - Printed in LD Cute Curlz font
Glitter - Glamour Dust in Crystal



I printed two of the cute owl image and cut out the owl and snow part and popped it up on top of the bottom layer. I added Glamour Dust glitter to the snow and his hat and I just love how cute he is. It is a little different from a usual Valentine color scheme but perfect for a man I think.
I hope you will grab your crafting ingredients and come along and join us at Cooking It Up With Katie this week!
