I'm sorry to say this will be my last blog entry as an MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge Design Team member.  I am so grateful for the time I have been able to be a part of MFP family and have learned so much from my fellow creative and talented team members. 
 
Now for my card this week.  My background was created with the Plywood stamp set that was stamped with Antique Linen Distress ink and the owl and sentiment from the Owls stamp set was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with Copic markers.  The owl was fussy cut and adhered to the front of the card.  All stamps are from MFP Stamp Shop
