Zen Owl

 A DL size card with a zentangle style owl on kraft. The stamp has a matching die, but doesn't match up well enough for me to use which is a bit disappointing. I intended the stamp for colouring in, but I either need new glasses or finer tipped markers : )

I used:

Cardstock - white for card base, kraft, black

Stamp - Creative Dies Designs Mehndi Collection Owl

Dies - Lavish Label Layers freebie with magazine, Spellbinders Mega Ovals

Embossing Folder - Kaisercraft Woodgrain

Other - Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink, sentiment sticker, hessian ribbon
