Growing Older and Wiser

Inspiration: Color Throwdown #532 + Tuesday Morning Sketch #492 + Festive Friday #29 (Green)

We have this expression in French that says "you're gaining in wisdom and beauty as you get older." I figured it would pair nicely with the So Owlsome stamps. Because I didn't have this specific sentiment, I used my typewriter to type it myself. I matted the sentiment strip with two pieces of glimmer washi tapem and added the apple from the stamp set as a little decoration. For the backgrounds, I picked papers from the Let's Bokeh in the Snow, Perfectly Plaid Christmas and Really Rainbow 6" x 6" petit paper packs.

Because I kept it simple and added adding too much froufrou, I think this could make a great masculine card.

What an adorable card, Cindy! I love how the owls are positioned in the openings. Your typed sentiment is perfect, and does indeed work well with the owls. Thank you so much for sharing with Festive Friday this week!
