I'm in love with coral and gold, so this is what I made for a friend's birthday:



Patterned papers are from a 3x4 and a 4x6 pocket cards (CTMH). I trimmed the small card for the "frame" and backed it up with green cardstock.
I stamped the feathers (Unity Stamp Co.), heat embossed in gold, fussy cut and adhered them on the card using foam tape.
I added a strip of washi tape and some hemp. Then, I added some glitter on the "frame".
It's like my little collection of feathers! =)

Challenges:
1. VVV#15: Ombre/Monochromatic
2. Word Art Wed #187: Anything Goes/Family Friendly
3. Simon Says Friends or Superhero

2. Adhere it on glossy chevron patterned paper, round the corners and adhere the panel on card.
3. Add washi tapes and white shimmer tape on the left.
4. Color the white shimmer tape with Copic markers.
