I enjoyed spending some time sitting on the grass soaking up warm sunshine this afternoon with my beagle, Josie.
But when it was time to stamp I was really happy to shift focus and pull out the Winter Pals stamp set.
I need another masculine birthday card and I had fun making this one!
I created a night sky on white card stock by sponging Distress Inks and adding stars with the white gel pen. It was my first time trying the inks and I love the way they blend so easily.
I was totally inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch and the Soft Scarf Challenge going on at Curtain Call. Besides the owl sporting a scarf, I added textures with the stitching, woodgrain, and chevron ribbon in keeping with the photo.
Thanks for coming by to have a look today and visit me here on my blog. I'd love to hear from you!

@Kay -
Thanks so much, Kay!
For those of you who love beagles, there is a category link in my sidebar just for Josie. She's a perpetual pup, even at 4 yrs old now.
