Svenja is setting today's challenge over at Daring Cardmakers and she’d like us all to take flight. Birds, superheroes, planes, hot air balloons, helicopters... feature anything that flies on your project.
We’re lucky enough to have owls around us - there’s a tawny that we sometimes hear in our back garden although we’ve never actually seen it! Hubby has seen a barn owl at the bottom of the hill and there’s a family of little owls just up the lane. So this lovely owl stamp from a recent release at Crafty Individuals was a no-brainer for hubby’s anniversary card this year!
The berries have a touch of glitter pen on them but it’s otherwise unadorned and just the way he tends to like his cards!

Beautiful card, he'll love it! Jo x
There is a glowing aspect to owl eyes and you captured it! Great coloring. Easy to wash out browns on them and the branch but they feel separate and right.

I love owls. Beautyful Card.
Beautiful take on the theme, Joanne :-)
This is gorgeous - they look like they're having a right old gossip!
Great work on that watercolour paper. I always struggle even with the Misti. Lovely colouring of those owls too. :)
