Paper Rose silhouette trees with hombre backgrounds

Hi There,

Today's cards for Paper Rose Studio featuring  the Gumtree Landscape Die. 

This die is just gorgeous and I thought I would mix it up a bit and use white card for the silhouette rather than black.

These Cards are really simple to make and I really love how the sponged Distress Oxide backgrounds turned out.

To mix it up a bit I have made one of the cards as a shaker card and filled thi inside with pearl and black little stars.

For each card I have selected a light, a medium and a dark tone of the same colour and blended them using a blending brush. For example for the blue card I have used Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon distress oxides.

For the shaker card ( above ) I have only partially cut the Gumtree Die and then used the large size in the nesting rectangle Die set to partially cut it for the second time creating a framed tree landscape.

on all three cards I have used embossing powder to give my stamped sentiment some "pop"

I hope you're inspired to give some of these ideas a try too.
