I wanted to create something really soft. I have a thing for feathers, so I stuck with a light feather/leaves theme.
When I first saw the Fine Feathers set in the catalogue, I fell in love. I knew it was going to be top of my list. The feathers are all so unique and cool looking. I also knew I wanted to use the Needlepoint Border embossing folders. I haven't used them yet (can you believe it!) and I've had them forever now. with those two "knowns" and the beautiful colour combo, this card came together rather quickly.
For the feathers, I inked up the stamp with soft sky. Before stamping, I sponged lightly around some of the edges of the stamp with Coastal Cabana, then I stamped down on Whisper White and cut them out. I love the two-tone look!
Check out the challenge this week. We would love to see you join us!
