It’s Thursday and time for the weekly challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary! It is a Color Challenge this week…hope it gets you inspired to make something great!
I thought right away of using my Four Feathers stamp set…it hadn’t been inked up yet! But, I love that it has coordinating Framelits to match the feathers! And feathers are REALLY hot right now in decorating…have you noticed them?
Here are the details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pool Party folded in half.
- I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Hello Honey!
- On the 3 3/4 x 5 layer of Whisper White, I stamped the Dotty Angles image with Hello Honey ink.
- Next I used It’s Your Birthday from Big News stamp set with Basic Gray ink.
- I stamped two of the feathers in Four Feathers with Pool Party ink on Whisper White, then cut with the Feathers Framelits Dies. I tied some Daffodil Delight Bakers Twine in a double bow and adhered it over the feathers. They were popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Finally, I colored some Rhinestones with the Coastal Cabana Blendabilities Markers (darkest one) and added them to the front and the Exclamation Point!
I love the fun, whimsical look to this card and hope you enjoy it, too!

Love these feathers! I haven’t inked mine up yet… Such a great way to use them with the challenge colors!
Very nice, Connie. I just bought this stamp set, and your card gives me inspiration on what to do with it.
Love your card design and especially the colored diamonds – they really pull out the other blues in the feathers…!
Love the border going vertically instead of horizontal! Cute layout and I love the feathers!
Beautiful card!! I would have never thought to use the feathers this way for a birthday card! Love it!!
I have seen so many fun cards with the feathers! This one is no exception! Love it!
I love the little polka dots with the feathers. Nice, simple backdrop without taking away from the details in the feathers!
Connie, just love this feather set & framelits and what you have done with them here! The cascading dots make such a great background for the feathers and sentiment! Super card!
I was inspired by your card and wanted to tell you that I CASED it for recently community card making class that I take. Please visit my blog to see my take on your card. Thank you http://margaretlcrawford.blogspot.com
