Today I'm sharing my design team card for our new challenge over at As you See It where it's time for a theme challenge chosen by LeAnne:
Feathers! I thought I was going to struggle with this one as I couldn't remember any set I still had with feathers in other than bird sets, but I had a good long trawl through my shelves and managed to find not one but two feathered elements, and not a bird in sight! I grabbed the layout over at Try A Sketch on Tuesday and set to work; take a look at what I came up with:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
There was a pattern in the retired Bird Ballard designer series paper pack that features feathers and no birds, so I used that for my card base. In addition, the retired stamp set 'Beautiful World', which I actually kept for the globes, contains a feathered quill and inkwell that made the perfect focal accent. I took a slight liberty with the sketch, tilting the central panel as I wanted it to look like notepaper - I stamped it with a lined pattern from the retired 'Tap, Tap, Tap' set to add to the effect:
A sentiment from the retired 'Textured Floral' set was all I needed to complete my feathered notecard. I feel like I was quite resourceful this week - it's amazing what you can achieve when you have to really look at your supplies!
