I was not going to do the challenge today...I really wasn't--but I read it and had an idea so I had to play.
This was a quick card--gotta love that!!! I was inspired by a cup my kids got at Halloween last year so I wanted to try it out.
The owl is a sneak peek stamp from a new line from Gina K..it will be available at www.stampingfreak.com on tuesday. I know the artist so I got to play with them early.
The background is brayered with mustard ink. I punched a white circle and brayered with summer sun and then edged the sides. I adhered it to the cardstock and then drew the tree. The owl is stamped and colored in and I clear embossed him..He is popped up on dimensionals...added the ribbon and matted the card...whola!!! Done.
The stamp is actually a birthday stamp--I used the sentiment that goes with it "Hoos Having a Birthday" and just inked the first word to place around the tree.
Thanks for looking!

This is the cutest card. You could not have created a more perfect perch for this cute little owl. Love your tree, love your ribbon, love your background. Any minute, he is gonna spin his head all the way around....I have been waiting and waiting......thats why I am last to comment. I think I will move on......
