Going For The Gold

Good Afternoon!  I made this card the other day and did not have time to upload before leaving town.  This will be entered into the Mod Squad Blog Challenge, Go For The Gold.....such a timely title!

 
I found this awesome Designer Paper in my stash, and for the life of me I can not find the name of it.  It is by Christine Adolph and it is gorgeous!    I have incorporated the beautiful bird image from the paper to be part of my card, front and center!  I used the stamp set, Stamper's Favorites, available from Gina K Designs.  Using the feather image cut files, FREE from Stamp TV, (check the Freebies Tab) I cut 2 images using my Cameo.  Stamping in Versa mark and Gold Embossing Powder, I heat set the images.  I can see every little detail in that stamp, just beautiful!  So clean, so clear!  Layered 2 together topped with some loopy twine and a red button topped with a smaller black button.  I also gold embossed the sentiment.  I then added 4 corner eyelets and 2 Copic colored adhesive pearls and a criss cross of ribbon.  The card just completed itself, love when that happens!
 
It's another beautiful day here, we have had temps in the high 40's and into the 50's.....feels like Spring is here, but I fear that feeling is a bit premature.  What do they say about March???  In like a Lion out like a Lamb?  Eek! 
 
Thanks for stopping by, always appreciated! 
 
And if you have some free time, you still have a few hours to take part in the MIUM Challenge, I am hosting over at Stamp TV.  Deadline is Sunday 23rd, 8 pm CST.  Hope you stop by.
 
ENJOY~~

  4. That really is awesome paper, Donna, perfect for your embossed feathers. Enjoy your taste of "spring". We had nicer weather today, too, in Pennsylvania but I fear snow is looming round the corner.
