I love the Branch Tree die and use it often. It was die cut from grungeboard and because I wanted my tree to be a bit lighter, I painted it with cream acrylic paint first. When dry, I applied embossing ink to it and then sprinkled the tips of the branches and the base of the tree with Peeled Paint Distress embossing powder and the rest of the tree with Vintage Photo.
The four little birds were also die cut from grungeboard, inked with different shades of blue Distress Inks, Brushed Corduroy and Wild Honey. Then I coated them with Glossy Accents and sprinkled a little bit of glitter on their stomachs.
The embossing folder was stamped with Archival ink Coffee and a mirror text stamp and then the tag was embossed. I love the effect of the non stamped embossed parts. The embossed parts were inked with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint and the rest of the tag with Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Frayed Burlap and Brushed Corduroy, and then dipped into a bit of misted water on my craft sheet. The lace was dyed with Brushed Corduroy and misted with copper Perfect Pearls and water.
I added a piece Vintage Lace die cut from kraft core cardstock as grass.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you will have a fabulous weekend!
