Guess Who is 12?

I suddenly realized one morning earlier this week that our niece turns 12 next week, and I didn't have a card ready!! It was time to get moving. I decided that this cute owl from Unity would be just the thing for that in-between age. It is part of a sweet set, called Total Cuteness, that I won as blog candy on one of the Unity DT members' blogs recently.

I incorporated these challenges into this card:

• Splitcoast sketch challenge SC302,
• Color Throwdown 114:
• City Crafter Challenge: Week 26, Take Flight (anything with wings. I think my owl qualifies!)
• Tuesday Throwdown: three elements (I used a row of three rhinestones.)
• Papertake Weekly: 3 of a Kind (I used a row of three rhinestones.)
• Simon Says: Easy No Cook Recipe Challenge--three types of embellishments (I used rhinestones, baker's twine, and buttons), two patterned papers, and one image.
  
• Crafty Creations: Show a Number (that's easy--it's in my "Guess Who is 12?" sentiment!)

This was a fun card to make, especially with all of the stitching. I hope it comes across as funky cool, the kind of thing a 12-year-old would like!!

Thanks for dropping by. Happy Saturday!!
