Joan's Gardens Challenge #17

Happy Weekend Everyone!
Can you believe another week is nearly over ... WOW!

Yesterday I had a fun time creating cards with my friend Terri Snode from Alliance, Ohio.  She & I are both members of The Sisterhood of Crafter's so we were enjoying working on DT work together and being inspired by each other.  Plus we did a little Video Skyping with Shelly of Shelly's Images (who is our sponsor for the upcoming Sisterhood Challenge) and with Joan of Joan's Gardens.  How awesome is it to be able to see/talk to people all over the world via the internet.  You gotta love technology!!

Anyways, the card I have to share with you today is my creation for the current challenge at Joan's Gardens.  This week the requirements are:
  • Stamp a background
  • Do a Vintage Card
  • Use Olive and Tan Colors - and any accent color
  • Use some kind of feathers (you might have to kill a chicken LOL)
Joan was right ... I thought I was going to have to go out and pluck a feather from a chicken since I could NOT find the TWO packs of feathers that I have SOMEWHERE in my stash.  I did have a few laying around by my lightbox that I sometimes use for photographing so I just ended up grabbing one of those and inked it lightly with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

Here are the other items used in making this card:
Paper:  White cs, Putty cs, Old Olive cs
Inks:  Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink
Stamps:  SU French Script (background), Inkadinkado (Victorian Couple & Heart/Birds)
Accessories:  White feather, MS doily border punch, olive satin ribbon, Cheery Lynn Designs B147 Olive Branches, Distress it All, 

Here are a few other qualifying challenges:
Scrap It With a Song - I Will Always Love You
Digi Doodle Shop's Best - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you've found inspiration in my card creation.
Enjoy your weekend and remember 'SMILE' ... 
it will make them wonder what you are up to!
LOL
HUGS,
Darlene
