Crows

Hello!

Just a quick post to share a card I have made featuring embossing paste and stencil.  I have had this Dreamweaver crows stencil forever and have just got some glossy black embossing paste which I thought would work well with it:




I inked the card base with some sunset colours fading out towards the bottom and embossed the birds across the top.  The glossy black really pops against the sky.  A sentiment from Altenew finishes the design.

I will link up this card at Less Is More's stencils challenge, AAA Cards stencils/embossing challenge and at Simon's Wednesday Challenge to use favourite products/techniques.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are having a great week!
