Good morning! Today I have a card to share that I made for one of our COVID-19 physicians. We have 2 on the unit, 1 day shift and 1 night shift. Both are great! One of the nurses made a special bulletin board for them and some adorable owl pot holders since they both like to cook. She asked me to make them cards "with an owl". I made a quick trip into Hobby Lobby, which recently re-opened, and bought the one and only owl stamp. Would I have chosen this image? No! Sometimes you have to work with what you've got!
Just some thoughts.... I know that in Iowa many counties are "opening up"; meaning businesses are re-opening with restrictions. This is really scary to me! We have not peaked and are not scheduled to peak until mid-June. I encourage you to continue practicing social distancing. If you need to be in public, please wear a face mask, use hand sanitizer, and remember not to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth! Make your trip brief by having a list and a plan before entering the store. We all need to do our part for the safety of everyone! As someone with an inside, front and center view...this is crucial!
I've colored the owl with pencils and added a dash of glitter. I loved the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches this week and realized at the last moment that I had to flip it because of the sentiment I had already printed for the inside...so glad that I had'nt glued it down! The patterned papers are from Lawn Fawn, I love the combo of pink and green! Here's a close-up:
I computer generated a sentiment:
I found the cutest Hero Arts set of sentiments to stamp on the back of the card too! Here's one:

Angela that is a beautiful card and the owl is adorable. Great card for the doctors. We haven't opened any non-essential stores (which to me craft stores are essential, lol). Now for my other role...thanks for joining in the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenges, Lisa Lynn DT.
Darling card! Owls are always such fun and I love that you made this card for physicians in the unit. I assume you are a medical professional too so stay safe. We are so pleased that you joined us this week at Watercooler Wednesday. Karen - DT
