Seize the Birthday challenge #294 - Feather


It is the last challenge of October and Vicki at Seize the Birthday has chosen the topping of feathers.

Give the topping a try and you may have a chance to join our team as a guest designer.  




My card


For this challenge using feathers, I could have used my newer GKD stamp and die, but instead I went to an oldie, but goodie that has not been used for a while. 
I pulled out Paper Trey Ink Feather Finery stamp and die.
After heating embossing them in gold and then copper for the dots, I used the matching die to cut them out. The background is a Freshpink hot foil arch that I had, and I used a 3D embossing folder from Spellbinder called Mandala Blooms. Lovely! The sentiment is from GKD and was a free one with my last purchase, called All at Once. Gold pearls and a gold cord all for GKD finished it off. 


A closer look at the card. 




If you are not feeling the topping, just make sure it is a birthday theme. 


I hope you will come by Seize the Birthday and join us! The Design Team and our guest designers,
