PP511 Fall Owl

Hi stampers!  It's Sunday and Claire is our Paper Players hostess with this fun challenge:

 

Aren't those critters cute?  That snowy owl reminded me that I had gotten some book plates at a yard sale a long time ago:

Isn't that a great graphic?  I thought they would make great Halloween cards, but obviously I didn't want to have that blank portion on my card, so this is the way I "fixed" it:

I started with a Very Vanilla cardbase and added an Old Olive mat that was stamped with some spooky eyes and embossed with a Subtle embossing folder.  I added a sentiment in Soft Suede, sponged with Sahara Sand, to cover up the blank for the name:

I added some gold glimmer stars and a spooky moon punched with a circle punch:

And a final star on the inside:

This was actually my second card; here's the first card I made, on a Soft Suede base embossed with the Woodland EF and stamped sentiment in Early Espresso:

Now....what little fall creature will inspire you to create something?  Check out what the Design Team used for their cards this week at the Paper Players blog and be sure to share yours with us too! Thanks for popping in today-- enjoy your day and be blessed!

Here's a little disappearing creature!  Now you see her:

And now you don't!
