Time to Celebrate

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing a card using Penny Black's Winter Branch die.  I just love this pretty die that is so versatile.

I used two colours of Lindy's magicals, sprinkled onto my craft mat, spritzed with water and smooshed with a small panel of mixed media paper. I left it to air dry.

Stamped the sentiment in black ink and then popped up the main panel with foam to add dimension.  Die-cut winter branch in black card stock and glued just in the center area to the main panel, leaving the branches loose.  This adds even more dimension  and movement to the card.

Stamps:  heartfelt (Penny Black)
Paper:  Mixed media (Strathmore 140 lb.); White (Neenah 110 lb. card stock); Black (SU!)
Ink:  Black (Memento)
Accessories & Tools:  winter branch die (Penny Black), Lindy's magicals (cattail copper brown, autumn maple crimson), water mister

The Magicals make a wonderful backdrop to the silhouette tree Loll and love the look of the tree reaching beyond the background mat, and a pretty font on the sentiment too. x
