O is for Owl

Time to send off the Alphatags for this month and this is the first of them.  I'm all behind with posts and so on because I lost my internet connection (again) for most of yesterday - I do hate being cut off from the world!!  Who would have thought a few years ago that I'd be feeling like that because we'd hardly believed that we would be able to communicate so readily with people all over the country and indeed in far flung places too.

Anyway back to the tag - the large owl (a stamp from Chocolate Baroque) was gold embossed, coloured with Distress markers and cut out so that he could sit on the die cut fence.  Background was coloured with distress inks and the teasel and leaves were also stamps from CB.  Finally I squashed a bottle top, added another stamped owl (CB) and used Glossy Accents to make it into a nice embellishment.

It so happens that I've not used this owl stamp for a really long time so this qualifies the tag to appear on Judith's Forgotten Friday challenge.  Could this be a sign that I maybe have too many stamps??  The theme on Sunday Stamper this week is Embellishments and I know there is only one embellishment here (unless I can count the letter O at the top) but I did make it myself so hopefully that will be OK.  I hope Judith and Hels will forgive me for doing another 'three in one' this week.
