Here are 2 valuable lessons I recently learned:
....If you are working under a ceiling fan, turn it OFF before you get out the feathers.
....Also, if keeping the feathers in a ziploc bag exercise extreme caution when squeezing the air out of the bag for more compact storage.
(I only needed one teeny tiny purple feather for this card. I ended up picking a lot more off the floor, out of my hair, etc. and I did that twice. Hence the double warning above.)
I couldn't decide whether to color more of the image or not. I just pinked her lips and glittered her necklace because I wanted that grand hat to stand out. I used my Craft-Dee-Bows maker to make that double red bow out of sheer ribbon.
I am entering this card in the following:

ReplyDeleteLOL! Love your comments about the feathers; I wouldn't have thought about turning off the ceiling fan, either! Your card is gorgeous! Thanks for joining us at Love to Scrap!
ReplyDeleteI like your decision to leave the skin uncolored in order to put the focus on the hat. Wise choice :) You have made a beautiful and elegant card full of texture. I can't stop giggling about the feathers though. The same type of thing happens to me all of the time. Don't even ask what happens when I use glitter or embossing powder! Thanks for playing along with Smudgy Antics this fortnight :)
