A friend of ours got married over Memorial Day weekend and instead of buying a card to attach to their wedding gift I thought it would be a nice touch to create a card especially for the newlyweds.

The inspiration came from a roll of craft paper found at World Market to wrap the gift. The owl pattern had a retro look that is really popular right now which uses subdued colors. I tried to match a couple of the colors and purchased ribbon to go with it as well – the straw kind that comes in multiple strands. I’m sure there is a name for that kind of ribbon that I’m not aware of, but the point here is that the whole thing was “tied” together nicely.

The inside of the card reads, “Owl you need is love.”
