Feathered Flower Take 2

For my August swap card, I decided to modify the Fall Feather Flower from yesterday.

I choose the 2013-2015 In Colors as my swap recipient loves those colors.  I cut down on the number of petals (feathers) to decrease the bulk of the card.  This worked much better.  I added some sparkly feathers throughout to give the flower a bit more visual interest.  The sentiment stayed the same, but was inked in a coordinating color.  After I finished, I thought there was just too much white space.  Adding a punched up silver sparkly butterfly completed the card.  I hope she likes it!

Sparkly Four Feathers

I found this beautiful card that was featured at Convention.  I knew I had to make my own version of it!

I changed up the placement of the sentiment and feathers a bit.  I wanted to use the sentiment from Kinda Eclectic, but it was too tall to put on top of the feathers.  It would have completely covered most of them!  Instead I made it a banner and placed it at the bottom of the card.  I also changed the colors, but kept the idea of a sparkly feather for the center.  The feathers and the sentiment banner are all popped up on dimensionals to give visual interest.
