With that being said I decided to conquer my fear (sort of) and do a bird card. You will notice I couldn't actually use an image of a bird. I have been wanting to use a new embossing folder for the Cuttlebug for a while now. I used the most perfect pearly purple card stock with the peacock feather embossing folder. I added analogous colors using metallic purple, blue and green to the embossed background. I stamped an image of the feather and colored it with the same pens. I framed the feather out and ran a sheer green ribbon behind it to make it really stand out. I put it all on a gold background and added some gold highlights to make this card super fancy.
I entered this card in the Birds of a Feather challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad
Wow, just I love the colors you used...so rich looking!! And I've never seen that embossing folder before...it's very cool. Great job and thanks for joining our "Birds of a Feather" Challenge over at The Cheerful Stamp Pad!
