Autumn on the way

Yesterday was cold, wet and windy; we don't seem to be in for an Indian Summer sadly.  Last night I sat down and played with my Hobby Art stamps and made a large scene, also  finished up this card using a scene that I made the other week on Jenny Maye's course.  I really like the sketch at Card Patterns Challenge this week, but chose to flip it on its side as I wanted to use my grass and fence punches.  It's not a card that I wanted to add a lot of embellishements to, mainly because it's another masculine card for the stash, so I used an idea Jenny sugegsted for watercolour scenes that go wrong:  highlight an area and punch a shape out of it.  Except I haven't got any reject scenes (yet!) and stamped and painted a scrap to get my circles...  However I did have a smudge on my card, hence the cows "escaping" from my scene:)

   DP is by Flair Designs, brown cardstock was Cuttlebugged with a twiggy design, turned on its side.  My card is for the following challenges:
The Wild Flower - Fall colours
Clearly I Stamp - Owls and their habitat - this looks like perfect Barn Owl territory to me!
Cowgirl Up Sunday Challenge - Anything Goes
Card Patterns Challenge - sketch
