A new Visible Image year

 I'm delighted to be back sharing my regular fortnightly design team posts for Visible Image. I hope you all enjoyed the festive period and are now looking forward to a creative year ahead. Today's make uses one of their awesome sentiments from the So much stronger  sentiment set

 teamed with the gorgeous Into the woods set 

and the Strobes stencil. 

This is what I got up to; I first added a little antique linen, vintage photo and chipped sapphire distress ink to a craft sheet with a little water and dipped a piece of A5 size mixed media card into it. When dry I cut this down to 4 1/2 by 6 1/2 " and then blended wild honey distress ink through the stencil using an ink blending tool. 

I stamped the more solid of the 2 trees lines from Into the woods using Twilight Versafine clair across the bottom of the card.

I stamped some branches using the tree in the set and then the sentiment from So much stronger was stamped in black and clear embossed for extra texture. 

I then over stamped the slimmer tree line from  Into the woods in black at the bottom of the card. 

I matted it onto gold and then black card. As a finishing touch I added 5 star gem embellishments from my stash and a little white gel pen detailing. 

Here is my finished make;
