Too-whit-too-woo

Fiona picked a cake from Pinterest for this week's Sugar Nellie Facebook challenge that had pink on it - PLEASE!!!!  It also had lots of chocolate and an owl ... so i had to use Oscar from the Sugar Nellie Homegrown range, and coloured him using my promarkers and then cut him out. I matted him onto a brown cardstock oval which i embossed with  leaf pattern. The dp is 'borrowed' from the girls' craft stash, and I added some bakers twine, layered flowers and flat pearls.  It is waiting for the sentiment - I have no stamps that  say "New Job" and the printer is not printing properly so I can't get the sentiment printed out.  I did think about doodling the sentiment but I don't like my handwriting on cards ... not quite right, if you know what I mean!

Challenges:
 I love Promarkers - aint it cute (well I think Oscar is cute!!)
Simon Says Stamp - inspired by a nursery rhyme or fairytale (Wise Old Owl)
Charisma Cardz - embossing
CES - new beginnings - its for a friend's new job when i can get that sentiment sorted!!
Sketch Saturday - sketch

And here is that Nursery rhyme ...

A wise old owl sat in an oak,
The more he heard, the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard;
Why aren't we all like that wise old bird?
