Layered feather fantasy echinacea

The Moxie Fab World
Fascination with Feathers challenge...have you participated in this one?
I couldn't pass this one up.  I had a great time making this fantasy echinacea flower in shades of blue and green feathers and added a smaller ring of yellow feathers to mimic what I think a feather echinacea flower would look like.  The flower base is a stamped image from a Magenta stamp that I have.  I cut out a portion of it, coloured the leaves with a Copic marker and added some stitching down the centers of the leaves.  I added a fun aqua center that I think is perfect for this whimsical flower!   I placed the decorated flower onto a cut up doily with some green stitching around the center of it and wrapped a fun polka dotted ribbon with the same greens and blues in the feathers.  The stickers are from Cosmo Cricket and the sweet label die is a Memory Box.
Do you have plans for this week-end?  I hope to have some time to create some more cards for the other challenges going on in the Moxie Fab World, and, I hope to get into the garden too.  We are supposed to have such great weather here in Austin.  Until next time,
thanks for taking a peek today!

Moxy Fab Blue tulip

Hi everyone!  Hope that Spring is right around the corner in your neck of the woods.  I made another card for the Moxie Fab World's 
Cure for the Winter Blues challenge.
I started by embossing my card front with a SU tulip fram embossing folder.
I "fashioned" this tulip from angel wings...it's true, I used Papertrey Inks's die from the holiday 
Love Lives Here set.  I cut 2 left and 2 right wings out from some tiny floral paper that I had in my stash (not many blue papers in my craft space to choose from)and then 2 more from a chipboard product.  I covered the set of chipboard wings with the paper, sponged with a navy ink and layered together to form a tulip bloom.  I drew the stem and leaves free hand with copics,  I also free hand cut the tulip pot,  sponged it and adhered with dimensional foam over the tulip leaves.  I added a tiny sparkly dragonfly with navy eyes and added Cosmo Cricket alphas to a wooden tag.  A button with some bakers twine finishes it off. That is it, a CAS card from me AND it features navy blue!
