Happy OWH Birthday week! I’m having a blast with a month-long party, and I hope everyone else is too 
Today I have a rarity for my blog…an actual birthday card! And – it’s an oversized one, 5×5! Yipes. Once in a blue moon I let myself go big-format for fun, and with this sketch I wanted to give it room to breathe.
What sketch, you ask? Well earlier this summer a pub had put out a call with this sketch in it – and my lil owl didn’t get picked. Dang! But….he was perfect to save for this week when we celebrate our OWH birthday on Wednesday.
The sentiment – from the Hero Arts Year Round Sentiments set – was placed on a curve on the block and stamped. And the balloon is just a die with a hand-cut doobliedoo at the bottom. Copic colors E51 E53 E35 BG23 BG49 YG09 YG06 Y35 Y06 B00
Love the card Sandy…. Ooooos bringing the cake?
Very Very Very wonderful – I love the different colors on the lower left – but favorite – how the happy birthday banner seems to blow with the balloon! Great effects!
Another winner and all that luscious May Arts ribbon. Yum. The colors are just wonderful together. This is going to get big grins for the lucky person that gets it! Happy birthday INDEED.
Soooo cute! I love the little birthday owl! Awesome card Sandy, and certainly a winner in my book!
I’d have picked your owl! I think he’s sweet, with all his May Arts ribbons and his birthday balloon. Happy Birthday to OWH, may we have many, many more!

That’s the kind of card that I need to touch!! Love all the tactile goodness!
Super-cute card Sandy, I love the colors, the ribbon, and the way you ‘wrapped’ the banner on the balloon – awesome!
