The page already had a wash of pale pink tester paint on it so left it and just coloured the dictionary page using distress inks in two shades of blue. Looking at the post I did for the tag I see that the owl image came from a freebie site here and that I had coloured the branch using a brown Promarker and black chalk. The background was a piece of old sheeting which I had dyed using blackberry juice, chalks in purple ,blue & black and distress ink pads in blue and brown.
The stamp is by Crafty individuals CI-234 and stamped onto the cloth with black stazon ink pad. I cut the piece down, repositioned the owl and put a moon in the background by using a circle die cut on an odd bit of paper to make a stencil and used a yellow distress ink pad.
A snippet of navy ribbon just finished the page of nicely. Not entering into any challenges as he owl had already been posted as a tag.

Stunning Mrs A - love the owl and such a lovely dusky atmosphere too.
I don't mind if he's been published on a tag before, you remade him into a lovely card and added a snippet of ribbon to boot. Do feel free to come and play - can you smell the cake baking yet? I thought not, it's a bit too early for me to be standing over the oven! AND, you snitched about the cake too :)
Hugs, Di xx
Hi Mrs A, Fabulous page, love the image and background.

Beautiful owl and a lovely page to complete your book. You are quite right about the idea of that monster spider crawling round the house at night. I had to know he had gone and I just hope he does not return. According to the radio this morning, we are due for a plague of them any time now, so I suspect my spider catcher will get a lot more use. Have a good day. xx Maggie

Wow! I always love reading the how-to-s on your projects. This is so unique, and your snippet owl really fit the theme of your word. How wonderful that you could recycle him on such a neat project. I love that you stamped him on fabric & used the print background as you did. Never tried that (well, not successfully!). This is really neat, tfs. Hugs
I love your owl page - I need to play catch up too so my altered dictionary will be complete as well. I really like the word you chose and the wise owl too? who?

Loving your owl....looks great on your fab background :)
I love your journal pages. You are a wise one to have created such a "D" lightful page....As always, good job!
A very stately owl, Mrs. A!
Very pretty tag with that owl, and I can't wait to see the completed book when you finish it!
Terrific page and very clever adding the owl to DUSK. Also good on you for keeping up. I have my dictionary ready but have a lot of letters to compelte.
Wow, this is fantastic :)
