A project from our live show CELEBRATING 14 YEARS OF STAMPS BY ME - Join Toni for her brand new launch - Broadcast 4th October 24 · 04/10/2024 · watch it from 1:10:30
Create a striking monochrome card featuring a detailed crow perched on a branch, set within an elegant layered frame. This project uses stamping and lamination techniques to build dimension, with a black silhouette bird against white, surrounded by decorative foliage and finished with a gold inner frame and sparkle accents. The bold black and white colour scheme creates a dramatic, sophisticated design perfect for any occasion.
Stamp the branch detail onto white card using grey ink, positioning it as a background element within the frame area.
