It's time for a new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges. The theme this time is 'Tis The Season.' and this one was chosen by our lovely Dot, She was happy for us to choose either an Autumn or Winter theme and as I really like to keep Christmas for December if I possibly can, I've opted for more of an Autumnal theme and here's the card that I've made:
For the outer border of my card, I used a the small Midnight Trees stamp by Inkylicious which I stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo before sprinkling over Light Brown and Orange Brusho inks. I then spritz them with water so that the colours would spread and blend into each other. Once this have completely dried, I sponged a little yellow and orange ink around the edges to fill in the gaps and give an extra burst of Autumn colour.
I finished my card by adding some Ivy which I made with a Memory Box die and then I mounted the image onto the background. I opted for a white border in between to match the Moon and the outer edge of the card. I thinks that's Autumn well and truly done now for another year but it's been such a beautiful Season as always.

Hi Sandra, you have coloured up this owl so beautifully!!! The white border really makes it pop. It made me smile to see the words the same as the challenge theme too. Love this.

He looks like a very wise old owl, wonderfully coloured ! Another beautiful card! I hope you have a good week Sandra, and keep warm in this horrid weather.
Bravo Sandra! What a fabulous card rich with details. Love how you added branches to the owl and tree image!
This is a fave stamp of mine Sandra and you have displayed him perfectly.
His cute little face looks so sad plus the way you have him sitting on that tree makes me think he is waiting for someone. Hope she turns up lol.
