I made this card for the WT challenge, but it was really hard (photographically challenged as I am!) to get the torn vellum to show in a picture. I tried bright light, muted light, and backlit. Then I gave up, LOL!
I needed a fall themed card, and so I did some embossing resist with the fern stamp from Touch of Nature, then I sponged on ruby red, more mustard, and old olive ink. The acorns were stamped with with brown stazon. For the vellum layer, I inked the torn edge, then stamped the sentiment with olive green Stazon. The main image is embossed with Cuppa Joe's black coffee ep, and the bird's body and some of the leaves were stamped twice and popped up on dimensionals.
TFL!!!!

What a gorgeous card. I love this little bird image and every time I see a card like yours I think I am going to use this set next and then I forget. Just so nice.

I seriously love this card with the way you used the vellum and the bird's tail cut -out over the edge and I can't imagine cutting out some of those tiny leaves. Perfectly Lovely!
