Hello everyone,
I hope that everyone is okay and keeping safe.
Mama Owl sure is, she's hiding in among the leaves and flowers.

After checking out the colours on this month's Mood Board
I chose a couple of my favourite colours, along with the leaves from the board,
and used them as my inspiration for this card.

To add another layer I've stamped one of the background elements

Mama Owl was stamped onto some scrap coloured card
that I had saved, and then she was cut out.
The flowers, from Loose Florals #1, were stamped
onto white card and also cut out.

I've added some extra hits of colour with my
