 Here's my card to start you on your way!

I used an embossing folder to give my card the tree look. I took an ink pad and rubbed it over the embossing to add the rough bark type appearance. I used a circle die cut for the hole. Since my owl is  stamped on the inside I needed to be sure it would be perfectly place in the circle center so I used a pencil (while the card was closed) to mark a small line on each edge of the circle. Then when I opened the card I could visualize exactly wear the stamp needed to be placed, then I erased the pencil marks. The owl was colored with Copic markers and googly eyes added. I took another piece of cardstock for my sign, stamped the sentiment, and used an embossing folder for my wood look and used a sponge to add a bit of black. I wanted it to look like a sign. I added a brad for my "nail".

I used the new stamp set

"Animal Birthdays"

and

"Owls" for my sentiment
