Presenting another Double D Challenge -- Feathers!
Would you believe I have only one feather stamp in my vast collection? And no feather dies. However, I do have lots of birds so I chose this trio of Hero Arts birds to sing their songs with my one feather stamped repeatedly on the background panel.
I also stamped some music notes from a retired Power Poppy set and then embossed the background with SU's Subtle folder. I love how that panel turned out. The birds are watercolored, and I need to tell you the yellow sky area is NOT accurately depicted in the photo. In reality it's a much softer color. My camera does not do well with yellow and that's very sad for me as it's my favorite color.
The die cut music notes and sentiment are from a Simon Says Stamp set.
The Double D team has no shortage of feathers and they have some delightful cards to share with you. I hope you have some feathers you can play along with. Thank you, and have a happy day!

ReplyDeleteCute card Leslie. I love that play board. Have a great day
ReplyDeleteYes, Leslie it’s hard to believe you only had one stamp and no dies. You better get cracking and buy some more. I love what you’ve done with what you had. This is an amazing card with feathers in the background in those lovely birds on the branch. I can hear them singing from here.
ReplyDeleteWOW what a great idea! Your feather/music background ties in so well with these pretty song birds! Awesome take on our theme! I can always depend on you for out of the box inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteThose fancy feathers floating in the background just add to the charm of those pretty little birds! I like the wavy pierced border you added too. Another lovely card, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteIf a girl could only have one feather stamp, this would be the one she'd pluck! Wonderful random stamping, Leslie! Your darling trio of birds are singing all the more sweetly for them!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and background design, you certainly made use of your one feather stamp, love the cute little singing birds.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely great card with an exquisite design. Love it xx
ReplyDeleteAs another whose favorite is yellow, I understand the difficulty with photos. But I love every bit of this pretty card and the yellow matches the bright and happy mood of this bird trio. Your feather is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour feather background is just perfect with the music notes, love the coloring of your birds and flowers, the sentiment goes perfectly with your card too! So lovely!

This is darling, Leslie! I would buy background paper with this design in a heartbeat. You chose the perfect colors to make a soft background for the tweet birds. Goodness me, this is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe "tweetest" design, Leslie! The background you created is beautiful and I love the curved border die. Those little birdies are so cute. I have a set of HA birds too but they are different from these. Wooden block and I got at CHA.
ReplyDeleteSuch a well thought out card and for having only one feather stamp you certainly did amazing things with it. Adorably cute song birds too, I think I heard them singing this morning at my house around 6am!!
ReplyDeleteWhat tweet little birdies. Those little musical notes are perfect for them singing xx
ReplyDeleteOh, I adore this so much. It's just so dear, with its sweet little song birds and wonderful stamped background. You have colored those birds perfectly and your overall design is fabulous. I LOVE this!!!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet card. The birds are darling and I love all the feathers you did on the background along with the musical notes.
