This week's Retro Sketches was a fun one to work with and I combined it with this week's Dynamic Duo challenge.
For some reason, my owl punch came to mind so I decided to pull it out and use it on this card. I embossed his tummy for a bit of texture and added a branch for him to sit on. Added the smile sentiment as he makes me smile :) The rest is pretty self explanatory.Our glorious Fall weather continues bringing cool mornings and evenings and wonderfully warm afternoons :) Needless to say, layering clothes weather is upon us and I can't wait for the maple leaves to start turning colours!!!
What's In It?
Stamps: Circular Sayings (Verve)
Paper: Always Artichoke, and Cajun Craze (Stampin' Up)
Ink: Black
Accessories: Owl and Bird Punches (Stampin' Up), Lattice Embossing Folder (Stampin' Up), Crimper, Twine, Black Half Pearls, Dimensionals
What a wonderful color combo...love the touch of texture on the owl's tummy!
