Looking for the right paper

While looking for the perfect paper to make a special card, I came across a Decoupage Pack by Papermania called OWL FOLK.  How these owls managed to hide among my patterned papers is beyond me.  The package has never been opened and must be a couple of years old.

It's been opened now.

 Here's a thank you card I made using one of the punch out circles with a 3 layer owl.  There were actually 6 layers in the pack, but I stretch the designs by only using 3.  It also doesn't make the card too thick for mailing. 

Using a Sizzix die, I cut the brown circle.  Then I went in search of some patterned paper which would compliment the image.  Not only did I find paper, but I also found a punch out sentiment to match.  What an easy make. The only ink involved was a bit to distress edges.

Now to get back to looking for the perfect paper 

to make that special card.
