Hello Feathers

Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches #425 today. Here's the sketch:


Feathers seemed perfect for this challenge. I triple die cut the feathers in white cardstock to add dimension. Then I tore some pieces of patterned paper and die cut a partial image to add the color. You can find this fun technique (as I did) on the Stop and Stamp the Roses blog post.

Stick with me on this...

I had to travel for work most of this week. As you'd expect, the COVID-19 virus was the hot topic, but the airports were crowded and flights were full. When I got back to CA I had to make a run to Costco. There I found that people are stockpiling, ahem, toilet paper. An employee told me that people load up their carts faster than they can bring out a new pallet! Now there is a limit of 2 packages per visit. But apparently I am the only one with the foresight to load up on wine and M&M's as those shelves were full. Jokes on them!

Then I spent yesterday making cards with the amazingly talented Julie Ebersole. We made 20 cards and I learned a bunch of new techniques...so fun!

Today I am back to making Christmas cards. This card is inspired by the Jingle Belles Challenge to make a card featuring stickers. These stickers are from Carta Bella a Very Merry Christmas. I made a couple of tags for interest and that's about it. Pretty simple.
