This so-so Father's Day card was inspired by Mojo Monday Sketch #194 and Colour Q Challenge #88 of Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Kraft, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla.

I have had days like that, where nothing turns out good! Blah! But, you are so wrong! I adore this card and the different brown tones look beautiful together! So, keep chuging along, cause if this is so-so, I can't wait to see GREAT! :-)

This is a fabulous card Nancy! Love the embossed background and love how you followed the embossing onto the owl's body! The perfect masculine card :-)
I love this card--you used those colors so well, and that extra touch of embossing is just perfect! I don't think you need to worry too much about practicing. :)
What a beautiful card Nancy. That owl looks so cute on those stripes.
WOW ~ I absolutely LOVE what you've done with these colors Nancy! Stunning card ~ TFS this and have a wonderful day :-)
Love this card Nancy. The colors are great together and using the embossing folder just adds so much to the card. I have a couple of questions for you. How wide is each panel and how did you get the bottoms so beautifully rounded? Did you emboss them all together or each panel indidvidually?
This is super cute! These colours work fabulously with your design! Love the embossing on the owl too!
Love your card, Nancy! The embossing is wonderful and I love your owl. If you feel you are struggling try making a scrap card, sometimes it just frees up the mind. thanks for joining us at the colourQ this week. I always love seeing your cards.
No struggles here, this card is adorable! Love the trio of neutrals and the pop of cherry cobbler is perfect. We are our own worst critics! Good to see your cards again! :-)
Oh Nancy, I wouldn't call this so-so, I would call this SO, SO cute!! TFS :-) Heidi
Great card! I love how you "textured" the owls belly! Just adds a little to your card. I think it is wonderful :)
Well this card is more than so-so, I would say so-so CUTE! What an awesome idea for these colors! Thanks for playing the CQC with us this week!
I think it is a great card - the colours and the texture are so good for a male card. Good to see you back.
