Just a Year Wiser

Today I'm showcasing one of the wonderful images from Doodle Pantry. This owl was released at Doodle Pantry last month and it's a perfect image for masculine cards.   I'm trying to stock up on my guy cards because of several birthdays coming up and this image was first on my list.  You can find the image HERE at the Doodle Pantry Store.

It's such a striking image.  I colored it in Copics (W1, W3, W5, YG91, YG95, YR23, E33, E35, E37), sponged the panel with Kiwi ink and used the Spellbinders Labels #18 diecut.  The papers are from Stampin' Up. The inside sentiment reads "You're not a year older, just a year wiser" which I thought was fitting with the owl.

The Doodle Pantry "Stock the Pantry" challenge is going on.  All you have to do is create a card or paper project using a Doodle Pantry image.  There's plenty of great freebies at the Doodle Pantry Store to try out - we'd love to have you join the challenge this month.  There will be three winners chosen and each will get a free Doodle Pantry image of their choice.  Hope to see your creation in the gallery!

Thanks for stopping by today!
