The new challenge this fortnight at Try it on Tuesday is Let's Go Outside, so it's anything you see, do or hear outside - lots of choice there.
I love being outside and I've mentioned before that I live on the edge of woodland and frequently see rabbits and mice on my walks, we have a hedgehog who calls in for a 'snack' on his/her nightly travels and one thing I hear most nights is the owl. A few years ago on a holiday in the Lake District we actually saw an owl in the daytime, I felt very privileged.
I decided to use 'Gus' the owl for my card, I love his expression as he sits on his branch, I've used Distress inks quite lightly for the background to create an early morning feel.
The rest of the DT have lots of different interpretations for this theme, so please pop over to the main blog where you will find all the challenge details.
The craft room has been rather quiet this week due to Covid19 making an unwanted appearance, so take care and stay safe.

I just love this Avril, 'Gus' is gorgeous, you coloured him beautifully, such a sweet card.
ReplyDeleteI used to live by a woodland area, its so peaceful, now I live with open fields back and front and get blown to pieces all the time, hahaha. xxx
It's really lovely Avril, that Owl is a super image and nicely placed among the foliage.

Gus is an awesome owl, Avril! We hear owls at our house and have spotted one a couple of times during the day. It is an awesome privilege to see them! Thanks so much for the warm welcome at Try it on Tuesday!
