Create A Critter Owl with Tattered Background

Created this Create a Critter Owl card
using Gypsy to lay out all the pieces on
the mat. Rotated the tree branch to make
it fit on the mat. Messed up on placement
of tree branch but did not matter since the
leaf layer covers it up.

Had fun with giving the charcoal paper
background a tattered look by tearing with my
hand.

Used couple of Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

  3. I like how you did the edges. When I try to do that by hand I always mess it up, always! It turned out good!
