An all occasion card featuring a collage background and an uncycled fabric feather


 I have been using up the pieces of a paper pack which I opened up a while back.  It is really unbelievable how many cards I have made with these papers and there are still several whole sheets to go!!    For this card I pieced several of the aqua pieces that were sitting on my desk along with a section of the words sheet.  I just adhered them to each other using regular tape on the back and then trimmed this collaged piece to fit on my dark gray card front.  I positioned my little fabric feather in order to be able to read most of the little sayings.  I used a push pin to make a hole in my background, added a swirl to the top of my feather, captured the wire between the tangs of a brown brad and mounted the feather to the background. To finish off my card I mounted the background to my card.  These little feathers make me happy!!

All occasion card featuring a wood grain with a debossed flowers, ribbon and a little dragonfly

 Another blue background I created.  This one has a debossed design.  I like how it worked out but I was expecting it to be the other way around.  I had the folder flipped over.  I added a ribbon and tied on a short piece with a single knot to simulate a bow.  I added a little dragonfly punchie.  It was punched from a glossy yellow background scrap and I used a black permanent marker to colour its body.  I like the contrast!!  I adhered this large element to a navy card front.
