Good morning blog friends. Don’t forget I have some blog candy over on my post of March 1st – you can still enter until midnight on March 4th. In the mean time I have a card to share with some feathery goodness using the Fine Feathers set from Waltzingmouse Stamps, I’m also over on the Waltzingmouse Inspiration blog today. Feathers are so trendy right now. I’ve seen lots of clean and simple card with feathers. As I sat down to arrange, I wanted to see if I could take the feathers and glam them up with layers and pearls.
I reached over and pulled the Fine Feathers Cut Files because I’m just no good at fussy cutting. Second to the cream color I love to create with is the mocha reminiscent of a great cup of coffee – it’s a tad bit dressier than kraft paper. By cutting the feathers and sentiments and nestling them on a mocha background, they pop off the page. On my 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ card base I layered Spellbinders 5 x 7 Mystical Embrace followed by Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence. It made an excellent backdrop for my stamped and cut feathers and sentiment. I finished up by adding a bow and some pearls. I get my tiny pearls from Hobby Lobby and was able to just pull off one entire line and run them along the vein of the feather for a cool embellishment.

This is absolutely stunning! I love the soft color palette and those feathers are incredible! TFS!
Such a beautiful card Becca as always. I do love feathers and the color of the paper and the addition of pearls are just over the top gorgeous. I just love this card, stunning.
Love the bible verse. Very pretty card.
As always a beautiful card. Love the use of the feathers. Juanita
Lovely card, Becca,
I love te colors you have chosen. I’ll have to try these colors, myself, on a card.
Truly beautiful. I learned something new today – ‘Becca COULD make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear’. Mind you that is not to detract in any way from the lovely feather stamps but how much of a challenge would they be for a lot of people?
Everyday you show us something beautiful. Thank you for adding just a little extra beauty in each day.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card! Such a beautiful sentiment, and the colors are stunning! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous creation!
Good Morning Becca. I love feathers! This is outstanding!! Your cards have changed my life! So beautiful! Thank you!
So pretty Becca, the feathers are really classy, love the touch of pearls.
That is BEAUTIFUL!
Hi Becca another stunning card just love it all
love Lynda Brock xx
BEAUTIFUL!!
Gorgeous!
So beautiful, Becca!
Gorgeous card, Becca. I’ve been trying to order that fine feathers stamp set for ages, but it is on backorder! :(
Such a beautiful – and glamorous – card! You might even be able to get me to like the current feather craze. Of course everything you create elevates the elements, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised!
Now I know why my DW loves to visit when you post. Just spectacular. I usually try to describe in more detail what I see but that has already been done to perfection in the other comments.
Blessings
Oh, Becca, I love this! Such a beautiful and inspirational card! Thank you. thank you, thank you! LOVE THIS! Blessings to you!
So elegant. I love that “Putty” colored card stock. Is that a Neenah card stock too? Thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful Becca ,so divine .Melanie
Just beautiful ……
Good evening Becca,
What a beautiful card in beautiful colours. I love the soft mocca colour with cream, so elegant and sophisticated in look and design. The mystical embrace die is on my need list as i think it is the most beautiful brought out by spellbinders this year, but just out of my budget at the moment, so back to dreaming. Thank you for the inspiration Becca,
Love and crafty hugs

I love your gift of making and embellishing cards. They are exquisitely elegant. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Hi Becca,
I love this card! I love these colours together – and even wear them a lot!
The verse from Psalms is so lovely and so good to have to send to a friend going through difficult times. Love what you’ve done with the feathers, beautiful.
God Bless, Myra
Anyone receiving this card would certainly be feeling a divine mystical embrace (such aptly named dies!). It’s soft and warm and touches the heart.

Hi Becca
This is a stunning card today. But I must say that all the cards you do just amaze me. Love the feathers and the mocha card. I don’t think that any cards of yours look simple to do, but reading the instructions they. And they are all simply amazing.
WOW, love the card, the colors. You never seize to do so many georgous cards.
Hi Becca, such a beautiful card, yes feathers do seem to be in and lots of companies are bringing them out, love your design and verse.
Love & Hugs

Fabulous card!!!!!
I wondered how the new feather craise would work into a card. Becca, as always, used them to make a beautiful one. Now I want to add them to my stamp stash. Thank you again for beautifying my world.
Stunning card
Hi Becca, I have to tell you this card is exquisite and so beautifully embellished. Thank you for the inspiration :-)
WOW!! Just AMAZING!! I LOVE the Idea of Blinging them up a notch!! =) HAHAHAHA!! Well you’ll get it if you’re a Fan of Emerile Lagase!!?? Anyway, I LOVE the Card such an AWESOME Design as usual!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
Once again perfect in every way! the colors are amazing. I love the double row of ribbon the bow with that beautiful pearl embellishment is perfection.thanks for the inspiration.
What a beautiful card Becca as always. I love the way you have used the feathers and pearls. Another stunning card LOL
Becca I love your card it’s so gentle and serene. I made a comment right after you posted, but I don’t see it on here now. I checked WMS (maybe I left it there), but it wasn’t there either. Anyway, I can’t seem to find the paper you reference with this card – mocha, or is it neenah putty? Either way, I can’t find either – would you be kind enough to let us know where to find this paper? Thanks Becca!
another beauty….did you fussy cut the sentiment or heave your machine do that to? I love it!
