Thanks for Owl You Do

Something old, something new is the theme for the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge.  I'll admit that I've got some really old Lawn Fawn stamp sets, including the debut Critters in the 'Burbs stamp set, but I didn't go back quite that far for the card I made for the challenge!

I paired the So Owlsome set from Lawn Fawn's latest release with the older A Good Apple set for this teacher themed card.  I used the chalkboard from the A Good Apple set to make a background and a spot for a sentiment.  The image was stamped on kraft cardstock, then I stamped it again on gray cardstock.  I cut out the chalkboard portion of the image and to do some paper piecing.  The "thanks" from the A Good Apple set and the "for owl you do" from the So Owlsome set were stamped in white pigment ink on the chalkboard part of the image, then heat embossed the text for a chalk-like look.  I adhered the chalkboard to a cream card base with a hand drawn floor at the bottom.  I colored up the owl and apple images from the So Owlsome set with Copic markers, then cut them out. They're adhered to the cardfront in front of the chalkboard, using foam tape for dimension.
