Seize the Birthday - Feather(s)

 Hello friends.  Time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Vicki has chosen feather(s) as our Topping option this time..

 


 My feathers are digital images I have had for quite some time and they were perfect for this challenge as I don't have any feather stamps.  I printed them on white cardstock and colored them with Crumb Cake Blends, but didn't like the way they looked so colored them with Misty Moonlight Blends and like them better.  I fussy cut them and added a  bow cut from SU Gray Granite with a retired SU flower set.  I die cut a stitched rectangle from white, stamped the sentiment from SU Unbounded Love and then embossed it with Tasteful Textile EF (ret.).  I added this to a Gray Granite mat.  I cut a rectangle from the new SU Nests of Winter DSP and added a Gray Granite mat, then added to my white card base.  I added the stamped panel with foam tape and then added the feathers with foam tape also.

Now hop over to STB and check out all the great cards by the Team and out Guest Designers.  I hope you will be inspired to play along with us.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

  2. I have no feather stamps either, JoAnn. As much as I like birds you'd think... oh well. You pulled this off beautifully with your digi. It has a perfectly masculine look with the colors and the woodgrain. I'm happy to be guesting with you for this challenge!
