Hello, Friends!  Welcome to another Cards in Envy challenge.  This time we are creating cards using the theme "Winged Things."  My card uses an owl from Miss Kate's Cuttables.

Owl, clouds and branch images are from Miss Kate's Cuttables.  I imported the .PNG formatted image into my Silhouette and created an Print and Cut version.  The layered paper colors were created by matching the colors on the owl.
