Here's another quick card I put together. I really wish I knew where I got the cute digital image from but I honestly don't remember. If anyone recognizes it, then could you let me know please. It's really cute and I can't wait till I get to use it again. The extra branches were made by just erasing the bird and tree trunk and then copying it three times and moving them around. I really wanted the image and the aluminum circle to stand out so I used Distress Ink's Faded Jeans to stamp some Papertry Ink's stars from Star Prints. Then I thought this would make a sweet little Christmas card so I added the sentiment from PTI's Signature Christmas. I also tried out the dotted background again (I'm really liking this technique, you can find the tutorial here).
The aluminum circle is another new technique I decided to try out. I used a nestie to cut out a circle and then clue different sizes of chipboard stars. Once that dried I cut out another circle (a little bigger) out of the aluminum and glued it over the star side while barnishing it at the same time to get the star to come out. Once I got the stars to pop they way I wanted them too I Adirondack's Dream, Stream, Pearl Mixative, and alcohol blending solution to dab on the color to give it a night time kind of feel. I really like how it turned out and can so see me using this again.
