Father's Day Feathers with MOJO348 & PPA206

Good morning!  Its Friday, Friday, Friday!  Time to get this week over and get this weekend started.  I have such a jam packed weekend its not funny.  First up and early Saturday morning, I am running in a Wounded Warrior 5K (and oh my gosh, is there a nasty, wasty wittle hill-Wish Me Luck!), second I have to head back to across the mountain for a family graduation and celebration party to follow.  Then come Sunday, I need to get groceries, do a little cleaning (I did say "little") and get set up for my stamp club ladies to come over.

Some how or another, I found some free time this evening to create a card for the sketch with MOJO Monday and put it with the color combo challenge over at Pals Paper Arts.  I hope you will enjoy my creation....

 

At first this sketch stumped me and I didn't know what I wanted to do with it.  At first I thought flowers, but I'm so sick of flowers right now I could.....well you know!?  But then it hit me, "feathers".  I had never created cute little feathers before.  And what better thing to use feathers for, than a Father's Day card creation.  I used the hardwood background stamp on a layer of baked brown sugar, added a side strip of chevron embossed so saffron.  I inked up lightly my paper doily in so saffron and pleated it into a smaller circle for my feathers to "nest" on.  Get that?  Birds of a feather, nest together?!  Yea I know, how lame, but I just had to say it!!  I used a piece of burlap ribbon for my strip across the front.  I was going to use a wooden button with my baked brown sugar twine, but forgot, they retired.  So I whipped out the next best thing...antique brads.  This I think worked out even better. 

 

On the inside, I stamped at an angle the hardwood stamp, and created two more feathers.
