I pulled out my SU! owl punch and had a play with it recently, making this birthday card for my stash. It started with a water-colored background piece of cardstock that was embossed with a Sizzix folder. I used several different distress inks and finished it with a few Copic highlights. The owls and branches were done with snippets, and the upper tree branch was done with a MB Woodland branch die and some soft suede cardstock, where I added some punched leaves for greenery. The stamped sentiment from SNSS was heat-embossed with white ep on black and it's all on a pumpkin pie card base.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
the Snippets Playground #285 & 286 - must use snippets
HLS June Anything Goes with dies challenge - I used a MB woodland branch die
Addicted to Stamps and More - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - emboss it!
Thanks for the visit today and I hope your day is just perfect!
