The tree is heat embossed in black and so is the bird. I created the sky with distress inks. They blended pretty smoothly. The background is a bit darker in real life. I splashed the background with water to create an erie look. I cut the panel down and matted it. I didn't think it needed a sentiment - it looks like Halloween, don't you think?

ReplyDeleteCool, nice and simple scene, and the embossing really adds to it! Thanks so much for joining us this week in our Monday challenge at Simon Says Stamp! hugs, Maura
ReplyDeleteI'd say you've done an excellent blending job, and looks like you have got good 'water droplets' technique too. I can't get that done well! Love the dark silhouette spooky tree on the night sky, and it looks so nice with the orange base. Good for you on early Halloween cards. I haven't done the 1st one! Always love seeing that fab header when I get time to hop over! TFS & Hugs
