Hi! What’s going on by you?! I had a very productive day yesterday. I got a bunch of emails sent out and puts some plans in motion. Sometimes it’s hard to put things in perspective, but eventually you are left with no choice. The rest of the day was fun, Jim came by and we went out a got a late lunch and managed to finish the crafty project that we have been working on! Feels good to have it done. Now we’ll start working on some new ones! Today I have to run over to the Store again and then I have a bunch of projects to get started! 😀
It’s Wednesday so time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge…
I wanted a nice simple card and I haven’t used feathers in a very long time! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I adhered a strip of Gold Mirror Card with the ends flagged to it and then got to work on my center panel. The images and greeting are from the Lawn Fawn Dream Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed them and two extras onto a piece of Arches 140lb Cold Press Watercolor Card with Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder. They are colored in with my Gansai Tambi Watercolors. The panel is adhered to a piece of Sugarplum and then to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. A strip of Peacock with the left end flagged is adhered along the top of the panel and the two extra feathers are cut out with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts and adhered to the right side of the Peacock Strip. I added three Pretty Pink Posh Gold Sequins and a heavy coat of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to the feathers to complete the card! I do love the feathers, especially in the teal and purple! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge! Stop by the BLOG and check out the rest of the Team’s cards and enter yours in the gallery!

Justin,
I absolutely LOVE this card! The colors are spectacular. Awesome job coloring those feathers. And the gold…..
Hi Gerri!
Thank you! I had fun with the watercolors! 🙂
You are right Justin – it has been a long, long time since you used feathers! This card is gorgeous and I too love the teal and purple combination. I’m also glad to hear you had a really productive day. I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve had a day where I accomplished anything! LOL You enjoy your Wednesday my friend. Love and hugs to you. XXOO 🙂
Yes, way too long Grace! Thanks! I find the same is true for me! Love and hugs my friend! XOXO 🙂
What a beautiful card, Justin. I love the colors and your coloring, plus the sequins and embossing. Just a total wow!! Some days it is easier to get things accomplished than other days – at least for me. I get distracted very easily and at the end of the day I realized I worked on several different things but nothing was actually finished. Take care. Enjoy your day!
Thanks HJ! I’m in the same boat as you! I get very easily distracted! LOL! 🙂
