Happy "Owl"oween

Fall is SO in the air here! It is like October hit & the temperatures automatically took a nose dive lol! I've had to build a fire a couple of nights now to take the chill off the house & have woke up to find frosty roof tops a couple times too. Leaves are starting to change colors & drop & the sun is setting earlier every day. Which means less time to do outside chores & more time to craft! (not always the case but it's nice to dream!) Last night after taking the boy to get some school stuff I was feeling the crafty urge & the bright nearly full moon outside inspired me to create this.
This is so much cuter in real life..so hard to photograph such a dark card. I chalked in some depth to the moon w/ grey chalk & that doesn't show in the photograph either.
The star DP is DCWV & I used stamps from 2 different sets from The {Stamps} of Life owls2love & the clouds are from kites2build. I hand cut the circle for the moon so that it wouldn't be perfectly round & added some iridescent glitter glue around the outside edge to give it a sparkly halo & attached the fussy cut owl w/ foam squares so he pops up a little. Easy peasy Halloweenie!

  8. I agree. Black is hard to photograph. I've had issues the last couple of weeks myself. But I think you did a great job of it anyway. I love your clouds and it was a great idea to stamp the sentiment in white. Fantastic card!
    Thank you for joining us on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog.
    xoxo, Christine
