I chose to use the new Four Feathers set and Framelits for my first two projects. Here's my first card:
I used the feather framelits to cut into the Basic Gray to expose the Confetti Celebration DSP underneath. The medallion is from the Starburst Sayings, stamped onto Brushed Silver cardstock then embossed with Silver Embossing Powder. Happy Birthday is from the Endless Birthday Wishes set.
Here's a little bit closer look; a Bermuda Bay Candy Dot centers the medallion.
I clustered the feathers behind a greeting from the Blue Ribbon set, stamped in Calypso Coral layered on a Designer Label frame. You'll see Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana and Crisp Canteloupe in the feathers and the thick Baker's Twine. This is a simplified version; I pared it down a bit from the original! lol!
Last is one of my favorite things made with the new Fry Box Die in the new catalog. Although I didn't use the feathers here, I used a southwest theme to decorate this treat box using the Geometrical set, Fringe Scissors, Star Framelit and punch. I filled a small cellophane bag with almond kisses and tied it up with Crushed Curry Chevron Ribbon adding a bit of Gold Sequin trim for fun! These boxes are SO simple to make... I see lots of them in my future! : )

LOVE the DSP peeking thru the feather framelits - so striking! The Baker's Twine gives the second card a western feel and that fry box is just so fabulous! I see a lot of these in my future!
ReplyDeleteI love what your did with the feathers -- especially the negative images on the first card with the designer paper underneath!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the first card especially. Great job Margaret!
ReplyDeleteYour feather cards really tickled me. I loved the first one with the feathers cut out and the DSP behind it. Stunning! On the second card I thought that the pieces of twine added was really clever, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects Margaret - I particularly like the effect of the negative space feathers on the first one.
ReplyDeleteYay Margaret, so glad you are with us! What great use of the feathers, one of my new favorites and your 3D project is adorable!
