Golden Owl


Here's a quick card made for Less is More week 75 where the challenge is to use the colour GOLD.




My first thought on seeing gold was to do a wedding style card but in the end I decided to do something a little different.  An owl in a tree!!   The Owl stamp is from Elusive Images/Chocolate Baroque and Spread your Wings is from Oak House Studio - both are embossed with Mirror Gold. 

I don't have a bark embossing folder, so I just drew on the back of some card with an embossing tool and then highlighted the ridges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Hope you like and thank you for looking and any comments you leave.  They are all gratefully received!!
