Hi! This card was made for today's Free 4 All Challenge: Side Swiped.
I decided to make the BOTTOM side of this card a secondary focal point by punching the edge and stamping with a woven basket stamp. I stamped over the background stamp with the Vine stamp. I colored in the leaves with a Copic Marker and sponged in the blooms with Distress Ink's Brick Red. I added Inkssentials pen dots for highlights.
The owl is a Sneak Peek and has NEVER been inked up by me until today! I colored it in with Copics and sponged in the sky with Distress Inks.
Finished card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total time to complete: 35 minutes.

The owl is so incredibly appealing with the wide eyes and it's hard to think of a more encouraging sentiment than that one! I also love the bg you created with the deep rich colors, the basketweave and vine. I think that border has to be a favorite of mine.
