I had stamped this image from The Stampsmith on a piece of glossy card stock many moons ago. Last night I added color to it with distress inks via a q-tip. I had Pheasant feathers on my table. I have wanted to use these for awhile. Growing up in the 60's we had an abundance of Pheasants in Michigan. Now it is rare that I see one. They have beautiful feathers. I have many fond memories of Autumn days and my brothers hunting and the Pheasants they would bring home. I made a few Mums using Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters stamp and matching die. I added a flourish and mats using Spellbinders dies. I made a couple of stick pins with beads I had. I dyed some seam binding using the distress inks dried it and sprayed it with Perfect Pearls. I sprayed Perfect Pearls on my flowers and leaves. When everything was good and dry I put it all together.
I am thankful that my Good Lord as given me the direction to express my individuality.

Linda, just when I think you cannot surprise me any further, you outdo yourself! LOL Gorgeous! And you colored with a Q-tip? The shading is marvelous, and so are your deep, victorian colors. The asters look great! Now, who would have thought of using the feathers in such an imaginative way as to create a border? Yes, your unique creativity did that. It's a beautiful card, Linda. BTW, we are "chilly" in central Florida, but it's still green. We are only spoze to get up to 70 if that high, for a few days, with some mornings well into the 40s. Not normal for October.
