Owl ATC

Created this 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ATC using neutral colors of brown. Used one of the Hero Arts Owl Trio stamps, Spellbinder Oval die, the Paper Studio Woodgrain embossing folder, Tim Holtz Distress Ink walnut stain, Darcie's sentiment which I stamped and then cut into pieces for each word and recycled some cardboard on the embossed piece for sturdiness. Discovered that Kraft cardstock or pretty much a lot of different cardstocks when embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder due to the many lines in it tends to tear so I added cardboard to the back of the Kraft cardstock before cutting the oval & embossing.



























Supplies List

adhesive: foam to pop up the embossed woodgrain layer
embossing: the Paper Studio Woodgrain embossing folder
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
paper - cardstock - 2 types of Kraft (one is Recollections & other is the Paper Company)
recycled: cardboard for layer for sturdiness
ribbon: Spool O' Ribbon brown
Spellbinder: Nest Classic Ovals
stamp: Darcie's heart & home JCS208 sentiment, Hero Arts Owl Trio one Owl
