Feathered Birthday

 Hello All,

Today I will be playing along with AAA Birthday and Alphabet Challenge. I created quite an unusual mini slimline card featuring a feather. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

I have been inspired lately to use my existing patterned paper. So I dug through my stash and found this, not so old, paper pack that depicted feathers and flamingos. I thought this die cut would be a perfect way to use up some paper.

This is the classic inlay technique. Taking pieces from other patterned paper and laying them in the openings to create a retro color aesthetic.

I slightly curved the sentiment to match the curve of the feather. I embossed the sentiment in coral to match the color scheme of the card.

This is showing the back and how it is hinged. Just scored the back feather on top and glue it above the scoreline to create a card.

When I was in college, the local area bars would have 'happy hour'. It was a time, usually on Fridays, when you could get super cheap beer. So naturally being a student with no money I jumped at the chance to get my stressed out little hands on some cheap brew and free pretzels (that was usually dinner). Of course we had a designated driver and thank goodness because there were times happy hour got a bit.... well.... too happy. Those were good times, good times; I think?

Well thank you so much for dropping in to spend time with me. I really enjoyed this project and I hope you did too. So until next time, take care, and happy stamping everyone!!

All the best,
