Reciepe for my card - background was made with DI Barn Door, Rusty Hinge and Mustard Seed applied to white card with cut and dry foam. Stamps~ I have used stamps from two sets Highland Silhouettes and Silhouette Grasses by Sheena Douglas which I stamped with Black Soot DI for first layer and then stamped and embossed with Black EP, Owl was stamped embossed and cut out mounted on foam pad and settled on his perch, before mounting onto black card, Easil strip stop ~ same background and stamped in Rusty Hinge mounted onto black.
Thanks for looking 'till next time
Love the ghost effect of the vegetation Maggie and the black ep really makes the foreground plants pop. Gorgeous sunset colours.
