The second non-alphabet theme at Beccy's 30 Days of Holidays is "Humor." Well, that's right up my alley! Just in case you're not a regular follower of my blog, perhaps I should warn you that often my humor gets a bit off; not off color, just off the beaten track. lol
I went looking for an image in my collection of Beccy's Place images and found this owl, which I've had for a short while but haven't yet used. It struck me immediately that I could add a fun Thanksgiving sentiment and have a card in a jiffy and a flash. I chose the pre-colored image, merged the sentiment before printing, then added all the highlights using ProMarkers and gel pens. Once finished, I cut it with a die from Tutti Designs.
I dug through the scrap basket and came up with the dp and brown CS scraps for the background. I layered on the image piece and found one of my hand-sewn, signature bows which I 'dyed' with a ProMarker. I added a tiny, flower sequin.

Love it NanaConnie!! And I love your alternate sentiment as well... too funny.
You did a fantastic job adding the extra detail to the image, I love how textured his feathers look. Great choice of papers too, they coordinate nicely for the image and are lovely warm tones for autumn.
Cheers,
Beccy
