CASology Challenge: Fly

This week’s challenge at CASology is “FLY,” and I have a card to share that fits right in the challenge.

I’m not sure why I fell in love with this Papertrey Ink set when it was released over three years ago, but I did. I typically go for sets that have multiple images for different kinds of cards, or florals.  “Feather Finery” is nearly all feathers but I loved the feathers and the overlay that can be applied to the top. It also has a set of beautiful sentiments although I didn’t use them here. I have to admit, however, that I don’t often think of this set when I need to create a card.

 I double stamped the feather with Ocean Tides, first with full ink, then slightly offset without reinking. Then I embossed the dotted layer with Platinum Embossing Powder. The sentiment is die cut from silver Paper Source cardstock with Wplus9’s “Hand Lettered Thanks.” I love the font of this die cut. The stamped sentiment comes from the same set. After adhering the white panel on an Ocean Tides card, I added a few clear sequins for embellishment.

I have another idea for this challenge that’s pretty quick and easy, so hope to be back in another day or two with another “feather” card.
