Who gives a hoot?

Hello all!
Back with my first card for the new week and as much as I like the card, I didn't like making it!  Only because it's an Autumn themed card and I'm not ready to let go of summer just yet.  Anyway, the card is done using one of the fabulous digis from Mayzy Art for the challenge at the Mayzy Art blog which is "Silly".  I wasn't sure what to do and then I noticed one of the freebie digis I had received when I last placed an order - so generous, you get a freebie whenever you order :)  I thought the digi was fairly silly so decided to go with it -



I coloured the pair with Copics and added them to a tag that had some inked, corrugated cardboard adhered to it.  I cut a backing piece of cardstock and some leaf shapes using my Cameo and then inked through the negative leaf shapes to add some contrast to the background and added a few bits of crafting tape, some gems and a wooden leaf - the sentiment was simply printed with my pc.



I would also like to enter this into the following challenges -

Thanks for stopping to take a look and a big hello to my new followers too :)
