This card measures 4 1/4 squared. I used the silhouette of the Bird On Branch die cut by Impression Obsession. This was cut from Black card stock and then I smooshed my Versa Mark ink all over it and heat embossed some Clear Powder on it. It gives it quite the little shine.
My background was created using Distress Inks in; Broken China, Salty Ocean and Weathered Wood. I then added drops of water to lift some of the ink off. Taking my Versa Mark Pen I dotted all around and added White Embossing Powder which was heat set. I also added some Dazzling Diamonds (think Stickles) so it looks like a cold, crisp, starry night! This was all adhered to a Spellbinders Captivating Squares die cut.
Sentiment, by Gina K Designs, Wishing You Joy, was also heat embossed in White. Adhesive Pearls for accent.
Enjoy~~
