Growing in Unity Day Four: Owl I need is a little inspiration

Hello! Welcome to the fourth day of my week as a GIU Gal.  The card for today took a long time to think through.  I knew I wanted to use the owl stamp (Looking For Love), but I wasn't sure how I wanted to put it together. Usually, when I am in need of inspiration, I will just pop over to Pinterest or check out the examples made using the stamp at the stamp company's website. Guess what?! I couldn't find any examples for this stamp.  Zip! Zilch! Nada!  So, I looked at other owl cards, but they just made me want to buy more stamps and really didn't inspire me.  I stamped the owl on some paper and started playing around with it and then, I left it in my craft room and thought about it - for hours!  Do you ever do that? Just mull ideas over in your mind trying to decide exactly how you want to make a card?  That's part of my process, especially when it's an image that I know I want to use, but haven't decided on the colors or papers that will work best.
So, I thought about this owl all day.  I thought I'd put my card together after dinner, but dinner got interesting when my oven decided to throw out an error code and overheat. So, we had to shut off the power to the oven, cool it off and try to problem solve, oh, and still throw together something for dinner.  So, this card was finished at 1 am, which sounds late, but I'm a night owl (ha! I think I just made a pun).  I'm pretty happy with the end result, which is usually what happens when I have a stamp that stumps me for a bit.

Just one more day to go and I've saved my favorite stamp for the last day, so I hope you come back tomorrow.  Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered to win Unity stamps for yourself!  Today's question is: What do you use to inspire you when you are card making?
Thanks for stopping by!  See you tomorrow. - DeAnn
