Feather in your cap card

I made this card for Clearly Besotted's Anything Goes challenge.

I started with a piece of glossy cardstock, upon which I stamped 2 feathers in different shades of blue.   I attached the cardstock to a dark blue card base and then die cut a label and stamped the sentiment, again in 2 shades of blue.  I grabbed 2 feathers from my stash and used the label and a hot glue gun to attach them to the card.  Because I had to work fast the label went on a little crooked.  Ah well.  For the finishing touch I added 2 dots of glitter glue to the label.

Elegant Thank You Card

This is a thank you card I made for an older friend of mine.  I wanted something elegant, and I wanted to use feathers.

The card itself was pretty simple to put together.  I used a piece of black cardstock for the base and a piece of deep red paper I got in a pack from the dollar store (it's a solid red with creases and splotches of darker red on it).  I glued on the feather and put the black velvet ribbon over the point and then laid down the pearls.  I thought afterwards the edge of the Zva Creative flourish should have met up with the feather, but they didn't want to move without taking bits of paper with them, so I left them be.

I used a metallic gel pen to write the message inside.
