Hello, hope all is well with you.
I have a masculine birthday card for a nephew to share today.
The Owl is a pre-coloured Beccy's Place digital image. I resized and framed him in PSE, then added the sentiments with the Text Tool before printing out on white card stock. I then chose a My Favorite Things Cloud stencil and several Distress Ink shades to make the sky. I also added some brown and gold Spellbinders leaf die cuts leftover from previous projects.
My thought was to suggest Autumn since the recipient's birthday is in October. Down here, our daytime skies are a bit colorful in Autumn and Winter (Spring and Summer tend to just be blue). And, we really just see brown and gold leaves, not the flaming reds, purples and oranges of further north. At any rate, that was my idea.
😊
Inside, I created a punny sentiment in PSE, framing and printing out on white card stock.
Here's a close-up to show the stenciling and the leaves. I cut the brown leaves from card that I had inked layers of different colors and the gold from an old card front I received years ago.
Thanks for visiting and have a good one!

That is one cute owl. You can't wrong with using an owl either, at least in my mind. smile. I see yesterday's baseball game didn't go so well. :( I hope the next one goes better. Happy new week. hugs-Erika

Oh isn't that cute!!!
Your card is so fun and I'm loving that you use the feathers theme for a birthday card! An owl is a great choice of bird for a card given during the autumn season! Thanks for participating in FarmQuest's #38 feathers theme! Appreciatively, Becca

Love it, Aimeslee! The background is awesome, I love the layers of colour you added over the cloud stencil. The pattern is lovely and makes a wonderful backdrop for the little grey owl. The mix of autumn leaves is a fabulous shout-out to your nephew's October birthday.
Cheers,
