Rooted in Nature Oak Tree with the Black Ice Paper Crafting Technique

I’m loving this clean and simple design featuring the Oak Tree from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set and Black Ice paper crafting technique.

Todays project was so quick and easy to make! The focal piece was made with the Black Ice paper crafting technique, which involves just a few quick steps! There are several links to learn more about this technique ahead.

After creating the focal piece, I simply attached it to a piece of Basic Black Cardstock, tied a piece of the Shimmer Black ribbon around it, and popped the whole thing up on dimensionals. Below is a close up of the Black Ice look. My favorite little section is in the lower right hand corner where you can see the streaks of both the black and the “ice” droplets.

Here’s another close up:

As I was designing this card, I knew I needed some additional embellishments. When I tried the Clear Faceted Gems in the lower right hand corner I immediately new I had the perfect element to complement the focal piece. I just love the glass like, shiny look of these gems!

About Me Page

I am a seeker of that crazy, excited feeling that comes when you've created something that’s unique, beautiful and expresses who you are in some small way. It’s like making a new discovery, when you find a unique combination of color, layout, dimension and texture. I call it a creative spark and it makes me giddy! Through sharing and teaching I hope to help others find this amazing feeling of creative bliss!

    Thank you for sharing your art!! Your technique inspired me to make a card as soon as I watched your video. Such an elegant presentation and unique look. It reminds me of a nostalgic romance of black and white photos. Thank you again!
