A Feather Wish [CTMH Blog Boosters]

The new Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book from Close to My Heart is now available.  In order to introduce some of the new products, a select group of CTMH consultants will be sharing their creations in this CTMH Blog Boosters Blog Hop.  A thumbnail of each participant's creation is shown in the Linky list below.  Simply click on a thumbnail to go to their blog post with detailed information.  

And we all LOVE to read comments about our work, please 'give us some love' by leaving a quick comment telling the artist your favorite part of their project.


My favorite new stamp set in the Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book is Feathers.  This stamp set includes five different feather images for varied projects.  For this card, I wanted it to be bright and fun, so markers were used to color portions of the feather to coordinate with the Lollydoodle papers.  A sentiment from the Belated Birthday stamp set is used on the front of the card, and completed on the inside.  A strip of pink Glitter Paper adds some sparkle to the design which was inspired by Pattern #26 from Make It From Your Heart, Volume 2.

Be sure to visit all the CTMH Blog Boosters to get some great crafting inspiration and other fun ideas! 




All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

  2. I LOVE how you colored the feather--I had to take a second look as I thought that it was paper pieced! Great sketch to use with this paper also. Thanks for sharing your artwork in this New Product Blog Hop!

    1. Thank you, Deb. Thought it would be too over-powering to color the entire feather, so just selected some sections.
