It's Terry's Birthday tomorrow, we've always joked that I married a werewolf. He's not changed so far, so I think I'm fairly safe after 30 years, unless he's a slow developer... It's only a few days since Ryan's birthday, six weeks since Megan's, and my birthday is 1st December. We didn't plan that very well, did we? So, I don't feel very organised for Terry's special day. I've made a card using a free download from Artylicious, which is Hallowe'en themed. I have never made a Hallowe'en card for Terry before, but I liked this design, and I have just bought some gorgeous Tattered angels products from Graphicus which tie in nicely. I resized the paper to fit onto a square card, and stamped the flourishes at the end of the owl's tail all around the edge of the design. I used Distress Inks to colour a large ATC sized piece of Stampboard and stamped as much of the owl as possible onto it. I then stamped the flourishes onto any spaces on the Stampboard too. I painted the owl with Distress Inks in a mixture of browns. I matted and layered everything onto my card, and there you are. Terry will be underwhelmed as per usual, but I've tried. Hope you like, Judith x

Great card Judith - very atmospheric! My son's birthday is the 28th Oct and my daughter's baby was due on the 27th. Still no baby so maybe arrive on the 31st. At least I hope it's not much longer. Her first was 10 days late and then another 2 days before she appeared! I think we all know what men are like about cards! Actually it's not always just men is it?

It's wonderful! I love your owl!
It's a lovely card, Judith. He should be delighted, but men don't say much do they!!!! I hope he has a great day.
You certainly have a birthday fest going on at the minute and all so near Christmas too!!!!
I saw the free Graphicus download but thought it was too Halloweeny for me, but you've changed my mind, it looks great with your owl.
Enjoy your weekend.

Fab card, Judith. I'm not into Halloween, but I love the colours in this, and the owl.
Morning Judith
