It's the middle of the month and time for our mid-month reminder of our "Wings or Tails" theme at Stamping Sensations where our sponsor is Aall & Create.
I have cheekily (or cleverly - depending on your mindset) deconstructed some Wings for my card today which uses these magnificent Papertrey Ink feathers. I stamped just the edges of the feathers with Hickory Smoke before moving my paper slightly and stamping them again with a mix of coloured inks. Then I overstamped with some Versamark and added clear embossing powder. The result is these embossed feathers with a shadow of Hickory Smoke which adds extra depth - so much depth apparently that some of my friends on the Stamping Sensations Design team mistook the feathers for being 3d die cuts adhered to the card. I masked off a border around the edge of my card and gently blended some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink onto the background. I think the Sentiment is Papertrey Ink too but I can't find it on my desk right now to double check! To make this a little more mixed media, I have added liquid pearls and sequins.
I'm sorry I'm a little late with my post. The hacking of my husband's accounts has caused so much work and so much stress and we have been suffering as a result.
Do please consider sharing some love with my teamies at Stamping Sensations by visiting the challenge site and leaving comments on our blogs.
I am entering my card into the following challenges
Time Out #234 A Great Expectations Dickens quote about weather and I followed Jenny's lead by using feathers blowing in the cold wind.
Edited to add that I'm delighted to be sporting this badge from the lovelies at Time Out!
An interesting take on the theme Lesley, thinking outside the box for sure.
