I recently bought the very popular Gina K Designs stamp and die set called Fancy Feathers. I so loved all of the cards that I saw created after the kit was released in June and I could not wait until the set was restocked and added to her site in July. I decided to make 2 slimline cards--very similar to one Gina demoed in a video earlier this summer.
First, I used my slimline cardbases and layers from The Paper Cut. I arranged my feather dies on the top white layer and die each of them. I then kept the outline of each of the feathers to place back into the die cut once the color was added to the back. For the background of each feather, I used some strips of silver glitter cardstock from The Paper Cut. I used 2 shades of each--purple, green and blue Tim Holtz alcohol inks. I dropped the colors of ink onto my applicator tool with a felt pad for each color. I then swiped and dapped the 2 shades all over the strip of silver glitter cardstock. I then placed the 3 colored panels under the die cut opens and placed the matching feather outlines back in place. The sentiments are both from the same set--they are such sweet words! I added some Gina K rhinestones around each of the feathers. I think these are such colorful cards and will be perfect to send to friends when they need a bit of a pick-me-up.
