Hello my friends. Today's card was created using our newest Seize the Birthday Topping, chosen by Vicki. I knew I hade a feather stamp and die set from waaaaaaaaay back but couldn't for the life of me remember the manufacturer which is how I organize my supplies. When I say it took me HOURS to locate it, I'm not joking. But in the end I was triumphant! Here's my card.
Does anyone else remember this feather set from Mama Elephant? I think it was my first purchase from them in what seems like eons ago.
I began with the feather, stamping it in a really deep blue. I chose a coordinating blue cardstock for my panel, blending the edges in ink before embossing. I die cut the focal tag in white, stamped the sentiment, adhered the feather and then added some stamped ink blotches. Silver stones were my final touch.
Supplies:
Mama Elephant - Fair Feathers stamp set
Pretty Pink Posh - Decorative Tags 1 die set
Erin Lee Creative - Art Deco Arches embossing folder
Trinity Stamps - silver stones
So I just did some Googling. It looks like an eon is actually only eleven years. Who knew?
I invite you to join us at our blog and in the gallery. Our Topping is optional but it must be a birthday card to qualify.
Thanks so much for visiting!

That background goes awesomely with the same colored feather! Fabulous card.
ReplyDeleteYou had beautiful success! I love the cute mat, too, and because I'm a nut for embossing I'm smitten with the background. Happy to be guesting with you for this challenge!
ReplyDeleteWell, sorry it took so long to locate, but certainly glad you did. I love this tone of blue, it seems so regal. Awesome card my dear!
ReplyDeleteIt was so worth the search Jules, love the feather with that embossed background and gorgeous in blue, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteThat wonderful background and that fun panel that you placed your feather on are fantastic! I see that it is a decorative tag from PTI. Those fun splashes on that tag are so creative.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh this is sooooo pretty!!! Nicely done sistah!
ReplyDeleteShopping Our Stash current challenge is "birds of a feather" just sayin :)
Pretty embossed and blended background to showcase your feather. Lovely card, Jules. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLove that feather, Jules, well done for persevering in your search! It looks great in the bold colours. And I think Google was having you on - an eon is a billion years in astronomical terms, bit of a difference 😆
ReplyDeleteGreat card Jules. Love the background, the die cut and the feather.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought eons ago would be way more than 11 years! Fantastic card even though it took your eons to locate it! (:
ReplyDeleteWhy do I feel that the most time you spent on this card was probably searching for that stamp. But you being you would have finished the actual card real quick! I love the colors, and I love how the die cut panel and the embossing match pretty well too. It looks fun!
ReplyDeleteSo triumphant!!! Love your rich and beautiful background and the die you chose for behind the feather is so cool. Wonderful card my friend.
ReplyDeletep.s. at least I knew I didn't have any feathers so didn't have to go hunting. lol
