You're a Hoot Card

Hello there,
Here to share this card I made using the bonus sketch over at Operation Write Home...

:o)
The sweet owl is from a die-cut pack from Kaisercraft, and the patterned papers are from Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg 6x6 paper pad [wish I had more of that paper left for my fall crafting!].  The sentiment is from a cling rubber stamp set from Studio G/Hampton Art called You're A Hoot.  I originally stamped the sentiment directly on the green patterned paper but goofed it, so I had to 'plan B' it and re-stamp on a strip of cardstock that I cut into a banner.  Banners are real cardsavers around here! ;o)  I think it worked out for the better in this case because the banner gives the owl something to stand on!

Here's the bonus sketch from Operation Write Home if you would like to play along [you can see more sketch cards and submit your own card here]:
