Autumn Leaves Owl Card

Used Kraft cardstock as the Base & core'dinations cardstock for layers.

Embossed the core'dinations layer with the Paper Studio Woodgrain embossing folder. Used Tim Holtz Paper Distresser on edges of core'dinations embossed layer.

Used Tim Holtz (TH) Tattered Leaves and scraps of cardstock for the Leaves. Used the Tim Holtz Vagabond to cut multiples of these Leaves. I was able to cut 4 of these Leaves at one time. Not sure how many more could be cut but thought 4 at one time was pretty good.

Used Mark's Finest Papers (MFP) Autumn Splendor stamps for the front:Owl and "Autumn" sentiment & inside: Acorn/Leaves and "FALL" sentiment.

Added some gems for the Owl's eyes & twine.
