Owl Autumn MFP Simple Salut Card Ch14 Tweet Bird

Created this Owl Autumn Card for Mark's Finest Papers (MFP) Simple Salutations Challenge#14 Tweet Bird. Paper pieced the Owl cutting Owl out with scissors.

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.

Scanned a page out of dictionary for the 'autumn' definition that I printed & trimmed.



























book: Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary page
chalk: Stamp N Plus Buzz N Magic Golden Nugget & Stamp N Plus Ritzy - used on leaves
embossing: D'vine Swirl
fabric: burlap - from The Kraft Journal store chosen as a prize win

paper:

core'dinations cardstock Burnt Sugar, Iced Cocoa (printed 'autumn' definition on)
scraps of cardstock -maroon red, golden yellow, orange for leaves <-- recycled since they are scraps
