Yes, that is real birch bark from trees that to be removed this past summer. Brilliance ink was used to stamp on the black glossy paper.
Paper pieceing was done for the bird's body and acrylic paints were used on the background.
I cut some embellishment frames dies from a coke can with my Cuttlebug. I first added a piece of craft foam to the back so the dimension would be retained.
Mr. Raven enjoyed the last berries of the summer. Lots of distress ink applied with cut n dry sponges.
Love the sticky backed canvas--used it for the base of the flower.
Welcome 2010!
Wishing you the very best as a new decade begins!
New things for a new year!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Each and every card. The birch bark card is amazing! I don't think I've ever seen black glossy card stock and it is amazing the way you've used it with the brilliance ink. It is WONDERFUL seeing you post again. I miss seeing your creativity!

ReplyDeleteHi, Jan! What a treat to see your "Enjoy Every Moment" card again with the birch bark! I remember it from Stamptoberfest. So nice! Put a smile right on my face! I also like the card with the raven and the distress ink background a lot! :-)
