Feather Card with Less is More Sketch #430--Case the Designer

 Feathers are a fun element in card making and I just received a new "Feather Pleasure" set from Local King Rubber Stamps.  I colored the stamp with Nuvo Glitter Markers and then pressed it onto light blue card stock.  The set came with matching dies so I traced the outline of the die onto the turquoise card stock and cut it out.

The patterned paper is from a 6"x 6" Bright Stack.  The Sapphire Card Stock was cut with Fancy Borders Thin Cut Dies.  An old punch was used on Silver Glitter paper to extend behind the focal feather.  The feather was popped up with 3D Foam Dots.

Here is the fabulous card that I "Cas'd" from Sharon at Less is More:
