F is for Feather(s)

Animals, Ocassions, Taylored Expressions, Thinking of You/Miss You

Hello friends and happy Friday to you!  It’s been so crazy warm over my way and I’m hoping this day finds us with a bit of a break in temperatures.

Today starts a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!   Our next letter is F and it was my turn to choose a theme for this letter, so I  have chosen “F” is for Feather(s)  *Remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter*  I hope you will find some time to play along!  Here’s what I’ve created:

I thought this would be a fun theme to play around with as you could just add a bird or anything with feathers.  I look forward to seeing the projects for this one!  I was happy to have this chance to pull out some things in my stash that I hadn’t used yet.

I’ve used the Taylored Expressions “The Thing With Feathers” stamp set and long with the “Wings of Love” stamp set for this card.

I started with a kraft colored cardstock cut with a scallop rectangle die and masked off the edges to ink blend and stamp a smaller feather around the edges with brown ink.  I then took the flying birds image from the “Wings of Love” stamp set and stamped it in white ink.  I also decided to add some white splatter over that.  This panel was then attached to an A2 top folding white card base.

For the large feather at the bottom: I used my VersaMark ink pad to just ink up the edges of the feather, then I silver heat embossed just the edges of the feather.  Without removing the feather stamp from my MISTI, I inked up the entire feather with VersaMark ink and then used a white opal embossing powder over the entire image.  Since this embossing powder is translucent, the silver edges that I embossed still showed through.  I die cut it out with the coordinating die and popped it up with foam tape at the bottom of the card.

The sentiment was stamped with grey ink and cut out with a coordinating die that I attached with thin foam tape at the top of the kraft panel.  I added some clear sequins to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping in today!  I hope you will grab your feather(s) and play along with us!  I’ll see you tomorrow for a new Art Journal Page!

  9. Your feather-themed card is such a serene and elegant creation. The layering of silver and white opal embossing on the feather is simply mesmerizing—it catches the light in such a magical way. I love how the delicate white stamping of the birds adds movement and a sense of peace, and the ink-blended kraft panel brings a warm, earthy balance to the design. A beautifully thought-out interpretation of the challenge!

  10. Doing my weekly catch up on commenting this morning. This card is lovely. I love how you focused on the big feather and made the birds small. It’s like how you find a feather on the ground, and all the birds are up in the trees. And you you then wonder how such a big father came from a bird so small…but of course, it’s all perspective. Nice work my friend. hugs-Erika
