This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, Sharon has challenged us to feature a very current design element on our cards this week: feathers.
Well, I had something almost immediately in mind for this dare - I was sure I had some feather cut files for my craft robo from the Silhouette store that were a freebie not so long ago, and sure enough there they were in my library - sorted!
I also needed to get another Father's Day card made for my friend Becky who requested some in good time, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to combine the two in one project, and here's what I made:
Paper: MME
Feathers: silhouette cut files
Dies: WPlus9, MFT
Stamps: Lawn Fawn
Wood enamel dots: Studio Calico
Other: 3D foam
Despite sticking those "happy" die cuts down over the feathers, I love that you can still keep a bit of dimension by curling up the feathery bits around them. I really hope the recipient likes this one. :)
There are some fantastic feathery cards from all the design team - so definitely go check them out for more inspiration. And if you downloaded this freebie cut file for your silhouette but haven't got round to trying it yet, definitely give it a whirl for this challenge! :D
Happy crafting!
Love the feathers! I'm sure I downloaded that one, I must check!
