Feather Together For Fab Friday

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's been 4 months since I designed a card, so I feel a bit rusty in my skills, but I'm jumping in on this sketch challenge anyway.  :-)

My card offering is based on this sketch over at the Fab Friday challenge blog.

I hope you enjoy!

Happy Stamping,

barb

Here is their card:

And here is my card:

I've been wanting to ink up this stamp set for so long and just couldn't think of how to use it.  Well, I decided to go bold with the black feathers!

The dsp is from the Morrocan collection and it is finished off with a little linen thread wrapped around the cropped "thank you" banner.  

Sunday's One Stop, Blog Hop!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Here is a long awaited new installment of Sunday's One Stop, Blog Hop!  I have chosen some retiring stamp sets and some brand new sneak peek stamp sets to highlight today.  I hope you enjoy my picks and find inspiration for your own card creations.  

Remember, the new 2017-18 Stampin' Up! Catalog will be released on June 1!  

It's pretty amazing.  ;-)

Blessings and Happy Stamping,

barb
