Hi there! Today I have a mixed media style Halloween card to share featuring a Tim Holtz industrious owl sticker:

I applied additional texture and design using texture paste, stencil, distress stain and gesso:

I'm playing along with the following challenges:
For color inspiration (Black and Orange), The Mixed Media Card Challenge:

For theme inspiration, The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge ~ I chose the word "OWL":

For sketch inspiration, the retro sketches sketch challenge:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great weekend!
Be Sweet ;)
