twisted tree of death at sleepy hollow

 Sleepy Hollow is not only notorious for the Headless Horseman but also for his twisted tree of death.  Whimsy's new Sleepy Hollow Collection includes a really cool twisted, spooky tree and I've altered it on this project for the illusion of an even bigger tree.

I used a SU! embossing folder (called seaside) for the white background then I die cut the Sleepy Hollow tree a couple of times and cut one tree in half to "stretch" it.  Then I used the branches from the second tree and cut off piece and arranged them until I liked how it looked,  I glued down all the piece then covered it with the main image.

The purple background on the circle was sponged on and I sponged on a little grey ink for the shadow under the crows feet.

I was playing with the colors in photoshop and think this card would look cool in a black and white version too.
