SEW MANY CARDS SKETCH CHALLENGE and FREEBIE FRIDAY

It's Friday and time for a new challenge at SEW MANY CHALLENGES.  This week we have an AWESOME sketch for you to try.  Here is the sketch:

I made a long card this week - haven't made one of these in a while, so it was fun to do something different.  I used SU poppy parade that I embossed with Cuttlebug folder, base is SU chocolate chip and sentiment from Stampendous clear is stamped on SU crumb cake using Staz-On timber brown.  Pearls from Prima and blingy stars from my stash.  Flower with pearls also from Prima.  Oliver Owl with flower is colored with Copics and Atyou Spicas, cut with personal trimmer and then I used JudiKins glaze to give the rose bud a little extra pop.  I hope you like it!!

Oliver Owl with flower is our FRIDAY FREEBIE this week, so hop on over to SEW MANY CARDS to pick it up!  Also, you have until 10pm EST on Thurs., Feb. 24 to enter our challenge - SEW MANY CARDS images are not required but certainly APPRECIATED.   Hope to see you there:)
