New Twofer challenge !

Hi and Happy New year!

There's a new challenge in bogland that I just had to give a go.  The lovely Darnell of DJ Card Kreations is the hostess with the mostest and check out the incredibly talented design team!  Go to the Twofer challenge to check out the guidelines and start making "twice" the amount of cards...here is my twofer using the pretty PTI stamp set Feather Finery.

White heat embossing for the Mothers Day card and also using another PTI set called Botanical Letters.  (I have since added a white center to the flowers and I think they look better!)

For the sympathy card, I stamped the feather in Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and used a fine paintbrush to spread the color a little.  The sentiment is an older  one from a Stampin Up set.

Thanks for taking a peek and enjoy your day!

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!
