I used a dark blue Copic marker to color the part of the leaves closest to the branch for more dimension and richer color. The hardest part of the card to photograph was the bird! I die cut it from vellum and colored it with markers before gluing to the branch. I love how clean and simple this card is, and it's almost perfectly flat (no foam tape), so it's a good one to mail :)
I sure do hope you play along...but until then, please check out what everyone made!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Jennifer! I love how you placed the branches and your vellum bird is the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteBeen staring at this trying to figure out if that branch die cut is on top of the white cardstock or a negative cut mounted over navy cardstock. Either way, I adore the crisp simplicity of it!
