What a Hoot- Chalk It Up

What a HOOT!   It's true, the August Stamp of the Month - What a Hoot- is amazing!  This has been the #1 selling stamp set this month :)  Don't let this one pass you by. This is one of the cards we made at my last class.  I used the Chalk It Up Star paper, lagoon cardstock, stamped with In The Background.  I stamped my owl friend on white cardstock, then colored him in with our old alcohol markers.  The hat was stamped on a scratch piece of white cardstock and the wings on another of the patterned paper from  Chalk It Up .    You can't tell in the picture, but I used foam tape to raise the hat and the wings :)  I added sparkles to my owl and black shimmer trim down the center finishes this card off.   What do you think???  Is this a birthday card??? I have a couple more Chalk It Up Projects to share with you..... then we will move on to SCAREDY CAT!!! Linked to  Clear it out Challenge
