Owl

There is a new challenge over at Doodle Pantry- Stock the Pantry -DPSTP#2 and you only have to create a papercrafting project using a Doodle Pantry image to enter. Go to the challenge site for all the details.

Here is an example of one of the marvellous image sets  from Doodle Pantry called: 'OWL' .

I  love this image and couldn't wait to use it in a card. To me it called out for a brayered background and

some forest foliage,so that is what I have used.  I am pleased with the result.

I need some masculine cards as I am running out of those I have in stock, so here is one to add to the file. Should work for a winter birthday.
I have not used a brayer for so long, it felt wonderful to get back at it. It is such a great technique.
