Fine Feathers in White

Hello Crafters.  Happy Thursday to you all.  My card today is for the colour challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches


Love these three together, doesn't have to be exact Stampin' Up shades either. I found three littlepearl brads, and with the magic of markers made them into the right colours! I've been wanting to use these lovely feather stamps for a while but it wasn't until a class on white heat embossing at my local craft club last week, that I think I've finally made a card that does them justice!


I masked off an area on some white card, added the green and blue with my brushes and then used the stamps with Versamark and white embossing powder. On removing the mask there was a tiny bit of 'bleeding' of the colours, but I'm happy with that - adds to the 'arty' feel of the card.  The bird was stamped in Chocolate Chip and fussy cut out, but I stamped the sentiment direct onto the card. Been feeling a bit under the weather myself lately, don't know if that's what prompted me to make a get well card. I think I will enter it in the Anything Goes challenge this week at Addicted To Stamps and More,

  3. I like the randomly colored background with the feathers stamped over it! Fussy cutting the bird was a good idea, to give a little more dimension to your card. Nicely done, Louise!
