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.
Nobody would ever guess you were pushed outside your comfort zone Faith as this all worked out beautifully so such a good idea using a feather stamp to create the wreath.
