WT497 Autumn Tree

Photo Details

Poster: susie australia

I had heaps of fun making this for Toni's "Try A Tree" challenge. I started by embossing the tree with clear powder, then I attacked the background with distress inks and sponges.

Garden and crackle stamped with Black Soot distress ink. Doodled a border and added a gate.

Thank you for looking.

Tree Stamp - the bubbles surrounding the tree are part of the actual tree stamp. It is by Penny Black, code 3880K called Fantasy.

Incredible card with the elaborate gate die cut and your pearl bedecked tree in the bg....a most magical and ethereal effect.

This is outstanding! I have that tree image and it is one of my favorites. I love your emboss resist and that elegant gate adds the perfect touch.

Thanks for explaining the bubbles...the tree combined with the white gate evokes a fairy tale but the distressed bg with the crackles, etc adds a bit of darkness to it...you know how some of the original Grimm's fairy tales were kind of "dark"...reminds me of that...ok am I going off on a tangent?...Way cool card Susie ;)

Susie, amazing!! What did you use for the ink on that tree if you used clear powder it must have been some sort of pearlescent white ink? Wow, it is just gorgeous and so is your bg!! Wow girl! You are such a master!
