**FYI I have not missed all the comments, e-mails etc regarding coloring with Copics and watercoloring and what inks and cardstock I would recommend for both. I've been typing up that post here and there for a while now, and when I get a free bit of time I am going to see if I can get it all done to post. It will be easier for me to put it all into one post rather than answer multiple comments/questions/e-mails!
I just wanted to post this FYI now so that no one will think I'm ignoring you! :o)**

Woot woot I got that card DONE!!
After cutting out the owl image I had messed up earlier I cut an oval from white cardstock using my nesties die.
This time I made sure to clean the die off with rubbing alcohol before putting it back in place and sponging the ink onto the cardstock.
I adhered the Rachel Anne Miller Hoo Hoo There Owl stamp (I've been wanting this one for FOREVER and it always sells out super-fast at ATS. I finally got my hands on it when placing my latest order so YAY!) using dimensionals.
I cut a scalloped rectangle using another nestie from SU! Basic Grey cardstock and adhered the oval to that.
The rest of the card was kept pretty simple.
The patterned paper is SU!'s Walk in the Park paper from the Occasions Mini.
The flowers are Making Memories - they came in a pack with matching buttons (so of course I had to buy them) that I got from my LSS sometime last year?
Ribbon is May Arts.
The sentiment is from my Love Sentiments set. I stamped that in black and left the inside of the card blank.
I lined the inside of the card with the same patterned paper used on the front and left it at that.
I'm still not feeling like my mojo is back but FINALLY finishing this card feels so good! I'm so OCD about everything that I just couldn't set it aside and try to work on something else. Every time I try and do that I just end up feeling more overwhelmed and get even less done. So yeah that's me!!
