Today I'm working with the stamp set Feathered, along with the Feathered coordinating die set.  This stamp and die duo is also available as a bundle.  There are three cards, each using this bundle, and each has its own product list following the photos of that card.  Be sure to scroll through all three!

For this first card, I began by stamping, and white heat embossing the lined feather stamp, on vellum paper.  I then flipped the vellum over it, and colored the back side of the feather with a Copic marker.  Then I stamped the floral feather pieces, using my MISTI to line up each stamp into the appropriate places.  Using colored pencils, I added a little shading to the flowers for some depth.  I die cut all the feather pieces, and layered them onto a piece of woodgrain card stock.  I added a sentiment strip, with the sentiment heat embossed in white.  I adhered the card front to a top folding card base, then added sparkling clear jewels, and random Nuvo drops around, and on, the elements to finish off this card.

This card began by stamping and heat embossing the lined feather image in gold, onto watercolor paper.  Then, I added a drop of Sparkle Silk into three wells of the Bloom Palette, and added a drop of Splash to each well.  I added water to mix the two, which left me with shimmery watercolor to drop into the embossed image.  While that piece dried, I stamped the image repeatedly, onto a piece of Whip Cream card stock, and sprinkled that with Sparkle Silk.  I stamped, and heat embossed, my sentiment onto a strip of vellum, and attached that to the card front.  I die cut the dried watercolor feather, and adhered that on top, and attached the card front to a top folding card base.

Card #2 Supplies Used:

This card began by ink blending the card front panel.  I used a sponge dauber to add Banana Cream, Bubble Gum, and Pomegranate Splash ink to the panel, then set that aside to dry overnight.  (You could use your heat tool to be certain the ink was dry before continuing, I just happened to have the time to allow it to sit.)  Once dry, I die cut the stitched feather from the panel.  I coated the feather die cut in shimmer, and set that aside while I stamped the floral images in the corners with Clear Pigment Ink, and rubbed a bit of Copper PanPastel over the stamped images.  Then, I adhered a bit of Pomegranate Splash card stock behind the opening left from the die cut feather, and die cut the tiny heart from the die set out of the same card stock.  I stamped my sentiment, and attached the feather, slightly offset from the negative space, using foam squares.

Card #3 Supplies Used:

All three cards today, were super fun and easy to create.  I love when a new stamp set can inspire so many different styles of cards!  Which was your favorite?  It's hard for me to choose, because I like each of them, but I think Card #3 is my favorite.  I love that Copper PanPastel over that ink blending.  It turned out so well!

And there's a bonus today!  If three cards just weren't enough, I'm sharing a fourth card over on my Instagram - using this same stamp and die set.  Be sure to stop on over to check that one out too!

Thanks for stopping by!
