Rejection 2 - Miss You

Hello. It's time for the 2nd of my recently rejected cards. :)
Today's card was made to fit in with a call for monochromatic cards.  I love this Big Eyes Owl, and thought she might look nice in pink. I used Hero Arts cloud background from the Silly Scape digikit, recolouring it to pink and printing on rustic cardstock.
I Miss You
So, my post-submission analysis... why did I use pink???  I should have chosen blue. It would have made much more sense for a sad card. So, I've learned to think carefully about matching the colours with the theme of the card, rather than just choosing pink because I love it :)
Back soon.

  2. I love it too Lucy. I could see this card in any color, green, blue, purple. It might just depend on who you are sending it to and perhaps their favorite color.

  5. I ran across your card from 10/16/10 on Pinterest the other day. Is there any way to still get these owls. I couldn't find them on Hero Arts.

  8. I think whoever picks the cards is colour blind and they should have their eyes tested - it is a gorgeous card! and obviously a girl owl - a boy wouldn't cry such a big tear,lol, hugs Mary G x

  9. Lucy, I really love this card! Clever to add the tear drop! The pink is such a pretty colour, and I agree with Pauline, this card would work in ANY colour, it's an awesome design!
