Today's TLC was the rolling marbles technique. Took me a while to find marbles as opposed to those nice glass baubles for flower arrangements, but I got there. My supply of re-inkers is a bit limited, so it wasn't till after I made my background that I decided what to do with it.
I used two green and a brown Tim Holtz distress re-inkers, and then decided it had a sort of woody feel, and would make a good home for an owl .
The owl and branch from October Afternoon were stamped with Memories Artprint Brown onto Core'dinations, then cut and embossed with oval Nestabilities. For the scalloped brown layer, I punched a 1/8" hole in each scallop, and threaded through some narrow satin ribbon. The sentiment is HA, with Queen & Co mini sprinkles. I reckoned it would do as a masculine card, so I left it pretty plain. Both sentiment and owl panel are popped up on foam.
TFL.

Very, very nice card! Love the owl, the "rolling", the ribbon frame, (How did you do that?), the greeting; and all combined in the perfect layout. Nice work.

OOPS! I should have read your description THOROUGHLY before posting a minute ago. Your card was so captivating that I glazed over the info part. Now that I know how, I will have to try that ribbon weaving thing......
