I got a "wild hair" the other day and signed up for an on-line class called Pattern Play! I'm so bad at mixing and matching patterned paper so thought maybe I could pick up some hints. I can tell you right now though, all the patterned paper on this card is just making me dizzy!!! I'm thinking I still must have a lot to learn but am picking up on some fantastic hints on working with patterned paper! Anyway, I tried to mix some of it together and this is what came out. I'm going to have to re-think my thinking on all this as I just like a lot of white space on cards.
Oh, almost forgot.......you're probably wondering about the title of this post - Belly Button Pearl! NO, I do not have a pearl in my belly button - but this little owl does!! It's one of those tiny pearls from SU and if you look REALLY close, you can see it in the center of the punched out flower.
Thanks for stopping by.........

What a happy card! Love the colors and patterns you chose. The details, including the belly button pearl are wonderful.

I thought about that class but was afraid I'd have to use the papers and would get dizzy! These are so bright and pretty! And I love the owl with the pearl!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness Lynn, we're classmates! Adorable card and I love the fun colors! All owls should have a pearl belly button!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Lynn, I like the owl, and the colours.

This is too stinkin' cute with that belly button pearl! LOL I love the outfit you dressed the owl in, and good job on the pattern paper too!
ReplyDeleteThe sun came out today and it went to 50 and melted all the snow! YAY!! Guess what? Another storm is possible from Sunday into Monday......groan :)

Hello Lynn, I really like your CAS style - it makes your cards stand out. But this owl is cute with pearl in the belly button. The papers are nice and cheery - just right for spring. And the fern at the bottom looks so real. Good luck with the class.

Lynn, I certainly know that feeling of "I'm not going to craft today" especially when it's beautiful outside. This card is darling and I'm so very glad to hear that it is the owl, and not you, that has the pearl in the belly button. LOL. I was thinking of taking that class also. I may sign up today for it. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Lynn. I love patterned papers, as you know, but also have a great appreciation for lots of white space, especially the way you manage it. Not as good at it myself. If you have trouble mixing papers, settle for just one pattern on a card. I like to put one real pattern with another that is so subtle it almost looks like solid CS. :-D
ReplyDeleteVery cute - super bright and fun card! I have to laugh at the title though :) x0x0
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! Love the googly eyes. I've signed up for that class too, but haven't had a chance to view any of the videos yet.
ReplyDeleteLynn Love your card. Also love the name you gave it - so original!
ReplyDeleteLove your card Lynn. It is so bright and happy. Mr Owl is very hip with a pearl in his belly button. Your pattern mixing turned out great.
ReplyDeletePractice makes perfect, right? :) I am kinda loving the bright colours - and there's still white space. That scalloped edge is fabulous. And I love that he's got a pearl in his belly button :)
ReplyDeleteNever would have guessed that you have trouble mixing patterns on your cards. I always enjoy your combos, and think you do a marvelous job with them. This one is definitely not too busy, but a bit diff from your 'lots of white', which I also like! Love how you did the owl punch with all the colors, and yes, it is wild. But also very beautiful. Be interested in what you think of the class. I need to take that one too! TFS
ReplyDeleteYou did a FABULOUS job of mixing the papers! This is so pretty and I love the pearl!
ReplyDeleteWish I could say we were having wonderful weather... cold,cold,cold!
Absolutely delightful Lynn!! Love that fun owl and the cut little branch he is sitting :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little owl and I like those fab papers. Very clever tree branch too... that oak leaf punch is so versatile.
ReplyDeleteThis card is adorable. Love the mix of patterned papers. I need to take that class too.
ReplyDeleteSooo CUTE Lynn! Love your Sweet little Owl and his belly button pearl too! ;-)
