OK- my silly side came out- and since it is Superbowl Sunday, I had to make a card with a football theme.
I stamped and embossed the owl image onto Cryogen White cardstock. I colored the image with Copic markers. The sentiment is computer generated. The football and flag are from Create with TLC.
My second card:
The image on the Shimmery layer under the rolled layer is a freebie Michael gave us recently- you can find it HERE on his blog- from the Dec 29th post. The Sizzix corner dies were cut out in the Copper metallic cardstock and gold Bo Bunny rhinestones were added. The sentiment is by Create with TLC.
There are ten blogs in this hop- and one lucky commenter will be randomly chosen to WIN the Michael Strong Whimsical Owl stamp set. The winner will be announced next Sunday, Feb 10th on Hetty's Blog.
*Bev* is the next stop on the hop. (It is a circular blog hop, so there is no beginning or end- just keep going till you are back at the first blog you visited).
FYI: The Yahoo group is : Michael Strong yahoogroup If you own any of the Michael Strong stamps- come join us! There is daily inspiration provided by a volunteer card captain and monthly challenges!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed all of the fun ideas on the blog hop!

Hello Shelly,
I like both of your cards, but the 2nd one me like very very much.
Heard something on TV about the Superbowl event...enjoy it!
Both of your cards are 'super'. Love the whimisical superbowl one and am sure the other is so beautiful in person from the description of the great papers you used. The paper rolls are a neat idea and make a nice background for the owl - thanks for sharing !

Love the football card. So cute.
Amazing cards, Shelly! Love them both, but if I had to pick a fav it would be the second one. Great rolling technique and I bet it's stunning IRL - all the shimmery CS and copper and gold accents! It's a fantastic image too. Kudos!
Love both of the cards, Shelly, but I'm especially taken with the second one done in all neutral shades. WOW!
This is my favorite football card ever!! LOVE IT!!
