I was trying to come up with a way to use the "Feather and Ravens" die set that wasn't simply a repeat of my earlier "clean and simple" cards and wasn't succeeding. I decided to just sit down with inks and play and see what happened. What happened was another "galaxy" background using smoothed Distress Inks and blended Distress Oxide "Black Soot", spritzed with water:
I die cut the branch and the two birds from the matte black card, inked the two birds with Versamark and double-heat-embossed with black embossing powder to get a really glossy black, mounted the birds and branch on the card front and added a clipping sticker:
