This card was created for the Splitcoaststampers.com inspiration challenge IC115.
I tried to achieve some dimension by stamping the birds on Whisper White and cutting them out and adhering them to the card front. Also, by stamping the vines in two different colors and highlighting the more prominent black vines.
Complete recipe: Stamped a piece of Chestnut Design paper by Karen Foster Designs with Stamping up Background stamp “Weathered” in White craft ink. Stamped Vines from SU Set Baroque Motifs with Ranger Adirondack ink “Ginger” on River Rock Card-stock. I did stamp off on scrap paper once to get a more subtle vine color. Adhered Design paper to River Rock CS. Stamped Vines again with Palette Noir Black Ink, sponged River Rock and Distress Ink Faded Jeans to create a shadow. Highlighted vines with a White Gel Pen and then stamped Sentiment with Faded Jeans ink. Attached ribbon and brads. Stamped birds on Whisper White Card-stock and colored them with Prismacolor Pencils, cut them out with an Exacto Knife and adhered to card and drew some feet on them.
