Feathered Friends – You’re in my Thoughts

Hi again!  A quiet day in the neighborhood.  Just perfect for some more play time in the Studio.

Lots of CAS (clean and simple) challenges about and I thought I would give it a go!

CAS on Friday (#291) with a Bird theme; Inkspirational (#323) with an Animal Twist; and AAA Cards (#273) with a Get Well Anything Goes theme.

I selected the Paper Craft Crew (#585) sketch; the Color Dare (#615) palette; and sharing with Crafter’s Café (#311) for their Lots of Colors Twist.

Here is the result:

WORLD TREASURES – HILLS OF TUSCANY – COS291 – IC323 – AAACC273 – PCC585 – CD615 – CCCB311

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
  • Focal Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock.
    • The Peacock image from the retired World Treasures stamp set was stamped with Night of Navy ink.
    • A Mask was also stamped on Copy Paper and fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
    • With the Mask in place, the Floral image, from the same stamp set, was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink.
    • The Mask was removed, and the Peacock was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Colors chosen Light Azure Afternoon, retired Just Jade, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo.
    • The sentiment, Your’re in my thoughts, from the retired Hills of Tuscany stamp set was also stamped with Night of Navy ink.

And we are done!  I love one layer clean and simple cards.

Thanks for spending some more of your time with me today.  Cheers,  Jolanda!
