The Owl & "Autumn" sentiment are from MFP Autumn Splendor stamps.
Used Spellbinder dies for layers.
Gave the card texture using burlap, embossing, recycled piece of shiny paper from ATG adhesive refill tape & twine.
Discovered that you I could not stamp on the shiny paper; not even with StazOn.
Woodgrain embossing folder used on Kraft cardstock base & core'dinations cardstock layer.
Used Tim Holtz Vagabond to cut the leaves from TH Tattered Leaves using scraps of Autumn color cardstock. Used Stamp N Plus chalk on the leaves. If you have not heard of or seen this chalk please check out the Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe Stamp N Plus store.
