Japanese Silhouette Bridge and Tree Card

Ink the light blue colour from the edge of your card stock, building the colour gradually towards the centre, focusing on the top half only.

Swap to the darker blue ink and add more intensity to the corners, building the colour gradually to create depth.

Set the inked panel aside and place your die-cut die on plain black card stock towards the top.

Run the black card through your A5 die-cutting machine to cut out the bridge and tree silhouette.

Carefully tease out the delicate cut areas around the tree and bridge details.

Apply glue to the back of the black silhouette panel and position it on top of your inked blue background.

Lift the silhouette slightly to create a shadow effect for added dimension.

Mount the layered panel onto a white card base to make the colours pop.

Stamp a sentiment in the corner using black ink.

Trim the card to size and finish.
