Thanks

Posted by Maria at 9:48 PM

Hello! Today I have a 3 1/2" by 3 1/2" CAS card to share. It took me some time to cut out all the little stripes and glue them together on a piece of white cardstock, but it was really relaxing. After that, I let them dry and then I cut it out with my feather die cut; and then, I added another feather, but I used vellum for the second one. I didn't add any embellishment because I wanted to use the multicolor feather as a focal point.

I hope you like it!

I would like to participate in the following challenges:

CAS-ual Fridays - Color Blocks...Contender...

Creative Creations Challenge Blog - Less is More

Stamplorations Stamps and Feathers
CAS.ology. Contrast

Thanks for stopping by! :)
