I don't know what's come over me but my November tag for the Craft Barn Calendar Challenge is finished and we still have 12 days to go before the end of the month! Owls and the colour grey have to make an appearance on this month's project.
I started by stamping the moon with Ranger Archival Watering Can, then masked the centre before brushing on Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. The flying birds and grass were then stamped, again with the same ink as the moon. I didn't have a suitable stamp so I cut a branch from a piece of ready embossed (wood effect) card and lightly sponged on Walnut Stain Distress Ink. The cute owl stamp was a recent Craft Stamper giveaway. As the background was rather sombre, I stamped him onto a piece of card that had been brushed with bright Distress Inks before cutting out and placing him at a rather precarious angle on the branch - I hope he doesn't doze off and slip off the end! I completed the tag with a piece of seam binding coloured with Distress Ink.

Lovely background and moon. Your owl has one eye open so hopefully he'll be safe on his branch!
Great background I love the moon. I think his precarious position adds a bit of movement to the scene xx
Love the scene you've created as a backdrop for your cute owl. The grey colours contrast with the coloured owl and branch giving a great spatial perspective.
Great background and the colourful owl lifts the whole scene.
Your background is excellent, especially the moon, and the owl is very cute :D
I love the depth in your tag. Vicky
Oooh this is amazing, just love it! Thank you for entering The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge.
