Hi Everyone, my card today is for the We Love Stamping Challenge I was very thrilled and honoured to have won the Guest spot for October with this card.

The theme is Autumn colours. I started with choosing my stamp, a feather, then decided to make a stamping stencil, for use with my stamping platform, to enable me to make a wreath shape, but I then went further and made it a star shape. Which actually turned out to be a wreath shape when finished, who would guess that, not me!
Anyhow, I die cut a frame to stamp onto, and stamped the feather in white ink and clear embossed it, turning the shape to stamp in each point. After which, I shaded the shape with DO's.
I dry embossed around the star shape, although it can't really be seen. A die was used for the stamped sentiment in matching ink, to add on top of the feathers. Then a die was cut, slightly bigger, into a frame and was used below the sentiment, shaded with the same colours. I stamped another feather using DI's, shaded again with the same colours. I then clear embossed it and added it as the front detail.
This is the most involved stamping I think I have done, so I have to thank Brenda for the push to get me trying things.
