Use gold embossing powder on the feathers for a special accent on this card!

 

 

 

Cut Cardstock:

 

Assembly:

Use snail to adhere the 5 1/4″ x 2′ piece of Bird Ballad feathers Designer Series Paper to the left side of the front of the card base, leaving a slight border around the sides. Snail the 5 1/4″ x 1/2″ piece of Designer Paper to the right side of the card base, leaving a slight border around the sides.

Emboss the 5 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Stone embossing folder (from the Power of Hope bundle),then snail to the 5 1/4″ x 1 5/8″ piece of Calypso Coral cardstock. Use snail to adhere this to the card front between the Designer Series Paper. See photo for placement.

Use the feather die from the Natures Thoughts dies to crop a feather from each of the Old Olive, Calypso Coral, and Pool Party scraps.

Gently rub the Versamark ink pad across each of the feathers, sprinkle with gold emboss powder, and set with heat tool. You can always repeat this process if you missed a spot or want the gold a little thicker – however, you don’t want to completely cover the feathers with gold; you want to be able to see the colors underneath.

Attach the feathers to the card front with dimesionals. See photo for placement.

Stamp the greeting from the Positive Thoughts stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Bermuda Bay ink. Crop with the second smallest shape form the Stitched So Sweetly dies, then attach to the card front with dimensionals.

 

Inside:

Use Bermuda Bay ink to stamp the feather and sentiment from the Positive Thoughts stamp set onto the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Snail the stamped piece to the inside of the card.

 

 

 

Envelope:

Use Bermuda Bay ink to stamp the feather image from the Positive Thoughts stamp set on the lower left corner of the envelope.
