I used an actual piece of birchbark. I stamped the image directly upon it and used Prismas for some shading. The birchbark has so many beautiful shades within it already, so I didn't do a whole lot. The card opens like a flap up.
Thanks for looking!!!

Beautiful I don't know about Birch Bark as we don't have them here but it is amazing that you can actually stamp on the bark and include it on a card. This must have great texture. Lovely card.

Oh my goodness this is beautiful! I will now look at the birch trees in our woods in a whole new way. I never thought of them as stamping embellishments!
