BIRDS AND THEIR FEATHERS

I have been working on a project for an online colour challenge – a Facebook group, Colour INKspiration Challenges, posts a new challenge every fortnight.

The most recent challenge was inspired by this cute pair of boots – and, again, this would not be my ‘go to’ colour combination.

At first, I started using the BIRDS AND BRANCHES BUNDLE but wasn’t thrilled with the results. I wasn’t feeling my designing mojo.

I like playing with layering and dimension – but these cards are not doing it for me.

So, I decided to go on a different tangent – feathers!

I used the NATURE’S THOUGHTS DIES to cut lots of feathers in the three colour challenge colours.

Then, I used the new OLD WORLD PAPER 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER to create this amazing effect – a technique that I haven’t used in way to many years!

And, yes – I am happy now!

The sentiment is from the TASTEFUL TOUCHES STAMP SET and I used the TASTEFUL LABELS DIES to cut it out.

I love the feel of the WHISPER WHITE 1/2″ FAUX LINEN RIBBON from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON RIBBON COMBO PACK. I will be ordering quite a few more of this pack.

I am much happier with this final card.

It just goes to show that you don’t always get it ‘right’ the first time around.

This proves that perseverance pays off – and that you can reclaim your mojo!

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make these cards. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.
