I know it is very odd, but I love these crows from the Stampin’ Up! set Graveyard Gala. I have used them so much in the past year or so. Don’t ask me why they appeal so much to me, because I don’t have an answer for you, lol.
Any how, I paired them up with the Stampin’ Up stencil I still had sitting on my desk from my last tutorial. It really gave me a different look using the stencil with Basic Black ink. I’m envisioning wrought iron here.
This is one project where I just kept adding things in order to get more depth in the scene. Hope you hang out a moment to check out the tutorial below or better yet, give this card a try.
