I stamped the orange tree image onto a piece of background paper, and coloured the image with pencils. I then embossed the edge of the paper with verdigris embossing powder. To create the background, I embossed some pearlescent card, and painted it with patina paints. Once these were dry, I rubbed some of the surface back, to reveal the dark card underneath. I added some burgundy satin ribbon, and a word which is a partial stamp from the Artistic Affirmations stamp set.
As you can see, the oranges on my tree are not orange, but it is a Fantasy Woodland tree after all!
Keep checking back for more samples from my Design Team mates over the coming days. Thanks for stopping by, Judith xx
The background is so beautiful! And the stamp from CB is popping out beautiful. Great card! Greetings, Gerrina

A quite amazing combination of the different media & I love the sense of fantasy you incorporated. The deep russetty colours really enhance the aquas & greens & I particularly like the way the leaves of the tree are echoed in the embossed background.
ReplyDeleteThe little brads add a lovely sense of metal to the whole too picking up on the verdigris theme.

Stunning card Judith! I love that fabulous background which draws out the more muted colours of the main image perfectly. That tree is so pretty!
