The crackle paint background enhanced with sponging really make the raven stand out on this card.
Note – make sure you sponge and stamp the card front before snailing the layers to the card base.
Begin by sponging one of the 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut the sponge into 3-4 pieces to use with different colors. Starting with Daffodil Delight ink, sponge a large oval area in the center of the cardstock. With a clean sponge, apply Crushed Curry ink onto the center of the Daffodil Delight oval. Repeat with a clean sponge using Pumpkin Pie ink. The completed oval should have shading of orange in the center to yellow on the outside edge.
Using a clean sponge, apply Night of Navy ink on the cardstock around the yellow/orange sponged oval.
Using Memento ink, stamp the Crackle Paint background stamp over the sponged cardstock. Use heat tool to make sure the ink is completely dry before the next step.
Using Versamark ink, stamp the raven from The Raven stamp set over the sponged oval. Sprinkle with Black Emboss powder and set with heat tool.
Use Versamark ink to stamp the branch from The Raven stamp set underneath the raven, sprinkle with Black Emboss powder and set with heat tool. Stamp a second branch in the same manner coming from the left side of the cardstock. Refer to photo for placement.

Crop with the smallest oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits, then use dimensionals to attach to the card front. Refer to photo for placement.
Snail the layers of Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie cardstock to the inside of the card.
On the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, sponge a circle in the center of the cardstock using Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie inks. Use the heat tool to make sure the ink is completely dry.
Using Versamark ink, stamp the sentiment from The Raven stamp set over the center of the sponged circle, sprinkle with Black Emboss powder and set with heat tool.
