I've said it before … but I love when an Inspiration Challenge pushes me to try something I never would ahve otherwise. This week's card for the SplitCoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge was inspired by this Mara Hoffman Feather Maillot from Madewell.
I loved the vertical falling feather design and the color combination … so I just started inking & stamping with my Falling Feather stamps from Crafter's Companion.
I began with the aquamarine feathers under the ribbon and then stamped lime pastel next (stamping each lime feather twice without aligning cause a natural slight overlap) and then stamped the same feather again on top with black. Next, another row of aquamarine, and then I finished with tiny feathers in Teal Zeal on the top and bottom. When I was done I trimmed to my card front size and used a ticket worner punch on an olive green base.
The final touch was the Spirited sentiment from the same stamp set & a wrap of wide teal ribbon. Here's a close-up of that great swimsuit pattern.
I'm also linking-up at 52 Card Pick-up.
Beautiful and very creative use of the falling feather stamp.
