Have a Hoot!

Hi everyone, hope you're all well. I had some great, if a little scary, news yesterday. I'm going to be a GDT member for Craft Your Passion for the month of May. I've never done anything like this before so I'm a bit nervous. I just hope I can do them justice, I'll certainly try my best...

Anyhow, here is my card share for today. I'm really pleased with this one...

 I've used a lovely digi stamp from Whimsy Stamps. It took me a few attempts till I was happy with the colouring, using promarkers. I've cut him out with Spellbinders Labels 5, which I've edged with Momento Rich cocoa. The tree has been made up of a piece of coredinations white wash cardstock which has been embossed using the Spellbinders M-bossabilities 'Flora' folder (design B) and then I've sanded it and edged it with Rich Cocoa. The trunk has been cut freehand from some Woodland Folk paper. I've used a Martha Stewart punch for the brown strip. Te green checked backing paper is by Serif, called 'Picnic in the park' and was free with a magazine a while ago. I made the sentiments using word and edged with Rich Cocoa.

I love this little owl and can see me using it a lot. I hope you like it too.

I would like to enter this into the following:-

Thank you so much for visiting, I hope you like what you see and that you'll come back soon.

Happy crafting
