Seven Wooden Owls

My card for Beate's Weekend Sketch challenge is a little late today. I have been out most of the day on a Christmas shopping expedition with my Mother, sister and our girls .... these aren't always the most fun of shopping trips and can be tiring but we do achieve a lot and today was no exception .... hopefully we will only need one more before Christmas.

Beate's sketch on her blog showed that the image panel was a wide/short type image ... I know I can adapt this if I want to, but I did want to use something similar to the sketch ... so while hunting around my stamps for a suitable stamp I remember this owl stamp I received from my VSN Secret Sister recently.

Recipe:
Stamps: Owls - Sideshow Stamps; Rice Paper B/G - Cornish Heritage Farms
Paper: Vanilla, Really Rust, Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip & Outlaw DP - Stampin' Up
Other: Black Ink; Really Rust SU Ink; Creamy Caramel SU Ink; Paper Piercing Mat & Tool; Photo Corner Punch; Brads; Foam Tape
