Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
For some reason I struggled with this card, but as you see I got there in the end. I stamped, embossed and inked with DI's and die cut the feathers, then any ideas I had gone out of the window, so off I go looking for a sketch to help, I used this one. Well it does have a feather on it!!!!!!
I used a piece of feather paper from a paper pad, cut to size, adding a piece of gold card to match the gold embossing on the feathers. I decided to stamp a sentiment onto the base card, above the paper, wrong! The stamp decided to half stamp, it fell off my stamping platform and smudged the card. I die cut a piece of card and stamped the sentiment again, to hide the smudge, then attached the feathers with some gold thread. I was quite happy with the rescue and the card after all.
large feather - I can't remember where it came from
small feather stamp, die, and spots on large feather - Magazine freebie
inks - Distress Inks, hickory smoke, antique paper
embossing powder - Altenew Antique Gold
paper - Craft Sensations, The Range
thread - stash
Male cards can be quite tricky for some, come and visit and maybe enter your own masculine card, plenty of ideas on the blog. Hope to see you there.

Great use of that layout and the feather paper is a wonderful touch to pair with the feathers.
It's fabulous Faith, love the whole concept and you made it your own. CarolG
Well, I think it turned out fabulously!! The paper is gorgeous and those die cut feathers are perfect! The little bit of gold twine finishes it off perfectly!
another fabulous masculine design, faith! perfect take on the sketch.
Yes a surprisingly difficult theme for a masculine card. You’ve aced it though and the colours are super…I never tend to reach for shades of brown but this has taught me that I should do! X
That is a lovely take on the sketch Faith. I do love that feather paper too!
Haven't we all had to cover an inky smudge at some time or other Faith, but you would never know as all the elements you used look great together with the beautiful feathers and the feather paper and gold thread, and the sentiment put on a banner works brilliantly. x
Absolutely gorgeous! I love feathers on a card!
