Telling a story - hmmm. Most of the stamps I have in that catogory are trees, no surprise there (flourishes don't tell stories sadly). This is a lovely PTI set not used nearly enough by me, but now the trees have been 'christened', will hopefully see the ink pad more often. The birds are gold embossed but it was very hard to get them to twinkle in the afternoon light.
What you need
Cardstock - SU Basic Black
Stamps - PTI Through the Trees
Ink - Versamark; PTI Fresh Show
Embossing powder - Celebrations of Australia (fantasy gold)
Such a strikingly beautiful card! Love the white on black with the hint of gold. Most black/white cards are the opposite...mostly white with a little black. But, I really like your combination best!
ReplyDeleteStunning Cassandra - I love your style x
ReplyDeletethis is a great image for the challenge, why didn't I think of using it??!! I love it on the black and the twinkling birds are a perfect touch!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I stamp in white it's never that bold on the black. Wonder what I'm doing wrong? This is simply stunning!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the trees stamped in white so they really look like paper birch trees.
ReplyDeleteOh, those birds are sheer perfection! What a lovely, lovely card!
