Allsorts Challenge # 845

Time for a new theme on the Allsorts challenge and this one is **Things with Wings**, chosen by Lynn and of course there is the usual *Anything Goes* option.  Prizes this time are from Taylored Expressions and you can see full details on the Allsorts blog post. 

For my DT card I've featured a couple of owls with a bit of painless 'surgery' on the die cuts to layer them for added interest. and I also die cut the trees and the frame.  The background is a piece of paper which has probably been in my box of random pieces just waiting to be used as appropriate.  The sentiment was produced on the computer and printed in a toning shade of brown.

Trees - an unbranded die which I've had for quite a long time, source unknown
Frame - die from Craft Addiction UK
Owls - dies from Craft Addiction UK
Sentiment - produced using MS Word and die cut using a retired Stampin' Up die

Coffee Lover

I have an ATC to share today and I'm taking it along to the Tag-along and ATC Challenge under the *anything goes* category.  I know lots of people like owls and also coffee so I've combined the two here. I started by trimming a ready made background to the correct size and then stamped the owl image and the wording using Versafine Clair and some clear embossing powder.  Not much more to be said about this small piece of art really but if you fancy entering the challenge take a look - the theme is **Spring Flowers** so along with the anything goes option there's lots of scope.
