Forest Friend

It's been a pretty busy week, and I've been trying to catch up on some fun challenges while also starting/completing an album for a client.  Well, that all went down the crapper when I went to the Stamp Expo today.  Boy oh boy did I find some goodies at a great price :)  I can't wait to pull them out to play.

I didn't, however, use any of them for this card. 

The Paper Variety weekly challenge asked us to use a forest creature in our design this week.  I had some leftover tags from Sogol's baby shower, so I figured why not use this cute little owl in the challenge?  I used the sketch from Mojo Monday to design the overall card. 

I like the overall card, but I wasn't too happy with the stitching.  I tried to do a straight stitch by hand it looks a bit wonky.  I should have stuck to the zig zag stitch.  Oh well...live and learn right?
