My card for tonight uses a super cute stamp from the Sweet Shop Stamps store, Melvin and Vernie. I stamped my owl on X-Press It blending card, and then colored it with Copics. I then layered him with Fossil, Saffron, and Berrylicious card stock. My paper is from the My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart-Be Amazing pad. I used the MFT Open Scalloped Doily Die-namics for my background, and the Scalloped Ribbon Die-namics for the stip across. My sentiment was punched out with SU punches. I used Michael's brads, and Creative Express Spiral Clip. The ribbon I used is Jute Twine, and  Primrose Vintage Seam Binding, both from the Ribbon Carousel.

Now, those that aren't new to my blog know how much I LOVE to make "specialty" cards....not. Following tutorials is time consuming, and not my thing, but when I saw this Windshield Wiper card tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers, I couldn't stop myself. It was TOO fun! I followed the Tutorial using Fossil, Sour Apple, and Berrylicious card stock from My Favorite Things. I also used Sweet Tooth cardstock, also from MFT. My paper is from the MME Lime Twist Fly a Kit collection. I used this month's new release, Birthdaybot, and colored him with Copics after stamping him on X-Press It Blending card. I then paper pieced part of the present. I used Michael's brads, and a Creative Express Spiral Clip. My ribbon is Satin Edged White Grosgrain and Honeydew Twine from The Ribbon Carousel.

Here is a look at the card open, with the "windshield wiper" up. Fun stuff, right? HARD to photograph, though, lol

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check out the other There She Goes girls, posts and find out what THEY are hiding!!
