I made this card for the current CAS Colours & Sketches sketch challenge and I'm also entering the Cardz 4 Guyz 'Monochrome' challenge.
Card blank: 6" x 6" white silk
Stamp: Hot off the Press 'Feathers' (magazine freebie)
Die: Hot off the Press 'Feather' (magazine freebie)
Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia
Colouring: Promarker (Cocoa)
Card: White silk, brown matt, bronze embossed
I die cut two feathers from bronze card and two from the brown matt card. The bronze feathers were layered onto the brown ones to give a shadow effect I stamped the sentiment in the bottom corner of the white card, this was then trimmed slightly to accommodate the feathers. As I didn't have any brown card for layering, I used one of Liz's tips and ran a Promarker around the edge of another piece of white card. I then layered the white card onto this coloured layer before attaching it to the card front. To finish I attached the feathers following the sketch.

It's a very elegant card Kath and the shadow effect works very well with the feathers.

What a fantastic sentiment for your lovely card. I like the way you have the shadow feather underneath. All round a very clever card. Barbxx
Wonderful card - love your take on the sketch and how the sentiment supports the die choice! Thanks for playing along with us at CC&S!
Those feathers are such a good fit for the sketch and the sentiment is fab. Thanks for playing at CC&S.
WOW - you have really nailed that sketch. I thought that despite it's simplicity, the sketch was REALLY difficult, but you've made it look easy. Fabulous feather card and I like the shadow idea.
