I have a bunch of owl stamps, as I regularly make cards for a friend of DH's who is fighting cancer and who collects owls. So, as my shadow box card wasn't really suitable for sending to Marie I've brought along this owl to make a full dozen owls sitting in Cindy's tree.
A2 base sponged with Walnut Stain distress ink. The woodgrain panel was a failure sitting on the desk - if I recall correctly I stamped the StarvingArtiststamp backgrounder with Versamark on watercolour paper, embossed with clear EP and then washed with blue inks. I heavily distressed the edges.
The owl is from Sideshow stamps, stamped on watercolour paper with StazOn Timber Brown and coloured with re-inkers. I cut it out with Nestabilities and coloured the background with Scattered Straw distress ink.
Crimped brown strip with a window punched with Word Window Punch and a computer-generated sentiment layered under it. Leaves are from ODBD Randi's Song, stamped with Soot Black and Forest Moss distress inks.

What a wizened old owl this fellow is, and he looks so fantastic on your wooded background - love all the textures in the BG andleaves and the "roughed up " edges - A totally differnt look - tfs sharing this idea!
