A Feather Card

         Happy rainy Monday! Apparently we are in for a lot of rainy days for the rest of October. I’ve been under attack from my two rare brain disorders all week but finally on Thursday I was well enough to get down to the lower studio (aka the basement) to make a few cards. I’ve started on my Christmas cards…anyone else started yet? I’ll be posting these as I get them photographed.

        Today I’m posting a card I made to send to my brother that is in the hospital.

                             

             I was looking for some inspiration for a masculine card and pulled out this feather embossing folder. I ran some white cardstock through it and decided it would do as long as I added some colour over the top to hi-lite the feathers. A Kraft card base was nearby so I went with brown ink over the feathers and around the edges. Once it was glued to the card base I just had to attach a sentiment….but when I saw the card on the computer I could see where the top was a bit too long so it has been cut down even with the card.  I liked the thinking of you peel-offs but they were either silver or gold and I didn’t like either one for this card so I went over a silver one with a brown alcohol marker which made it more of a copper colour but I decided it was okay and used it. This has to be one of the quickest cards I’ve ever made but I liked it. My brother called me yesterday to tell me how much he liked it as well so that was nice.

        That’s all for a rainy Monday, October-19-20 20.

Cheers
