I love the images I find at Morgan's Artworld, especially when I find something a bit different from her beautiful lady faeries and woodland nymphs. This owl is one of those treasures and I decided to make a fall/ harvest-season card which I'll probably use for my daughter's Thanksgiving card this year. She adores owls so it's perfect.
The owl is colored with ProMarkers and I used some of my pale gray and blue Copics for the sky. I used a negative die cut (left over from another project) to frame the image, and then punched the corners to add a bit more decorative shape.
I added orange twine and a bow (dyed with ProMarkers for the color I wanted), and then found three die cut butterflies for embellishment. I used loose glitter on them for a touch of sparkle.

I know it isn't fall yet, but since we're on day 8 of a heat wave which has put us into the 108 to 111 degree range, and which is predicted to run at least another 6 days of 103 or higher, I'm ready for fall to get here with some crisp mornings and cool evenings! Yes, fall is my favorite season -- lovely days, not too cold but cool enough to open up the windows and enjoy the scents and sounds of the harvest season. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Goodness! You're hotter than we are for sure! That's just a little too warm. Maybe if you start making fall (like this one) and winter cards, it'll cool down some. Love that regal looking owl. Pretty card!

HOT! OH! I wouldn't mind a day or 2 of that, we seem to have been in Autumn mode all Summer!

Such a perfect fall card Connie. Your daughter is sure to love it, especially with that beautiful owl you coloured. The glitter is a nice touch and so ingenious of you to use your leftover die cut negatives as frames. Thanks for playing along this week and I hope to see you back again soon. Good luck!
