This is a very easy card to make and SO beautiful because of the die I used.
I love birches ad the Frantic stamper birch die is wonderful! It is a card panel so it will cover an A2 card.
To make my card, I first cut the birch panel out of plain white card stock. then I used Versa Mark and silver embossing powder to change my birches to silver. I had some blue glitter and some blue chunky glitter and reheated (melted) parts of the embossing and added the glitter to it. This causes the glitter to stick to the melted embossing powder.
(I had in my mind a full moonlit night and the birches would be silver in the moonlight and also give off this blueish light...spooky, yes?)
After I added glue to the back of my trees, I placed a white shimmer moon (cut from shimmer paper) behind the trees. I glued my trees to a black mat and again to a silver glossy mat to finish my card.
I have several ideas to share on this card for variations:
- instead of a moon, use a skull out of red glitter
- cut out a bat to lay on top of the trees with a Happy Halloween greeting in red or white
- take an alcohol pen and color one tree t stand out from the group
- add an owl to one of the branches
- You can use this die for Christmas and add snow at the base or on some of the branches.
There are so many ways to use this birches die. I hope you will give some of them a try.
