The Challenge:
Another fun technique by Betsy Veldman, you can watch the tutorial HERE!
I used my latest PTI products Feather Finery Stamp set
and matching die cut
I also used Papertrey INK (Sweet blush, Hibiscus burst and Autumn rose) for the feathers and the background, I want a very soft background so I do 2nd generation stamping even though I already used a very light tone - Sweet Blush.
liquid pearls on the feathers, I so love liquid pearls
keeping the card as flat as possible, and I am going to continue to go this direction as expensive postage for overseas just killing me

Despite the bad weather in the East Coast, we did take off and got here on Wednesday evening, it was brrrr..... cold, the street is filled with dirty, slushy snow, good that I brought my snow boots and winter coat here this time......
and bad that I am going to sunny island Singapore after NYC and that I absolutely DO NOT need these items : (

We met up with Dolce for dinner at Joe's Shanghai, the best soup dumpling in the world (no kidding, I seriously traveled the world to eat Shanghai soup dumpling) and followed by China town ice cream, yes, you heard me right, cold winter night, 32F and we are eating ice-cream, they must be good!
this morning, I walked to Bryant Park like all tourist would, I love the strange feeling whenever I am back here in the city, everything is so familiar and yet so strange now that I am a tourist, sort of!
the chairs and table at the park....
even the drinking fountain...
the carousel at the park was playing French music....hmmm, reminded me of Paris
I met up with my friend Susan, had lunch and chit chat, was fun!
We are meeting Dolce and her room mate this evening, maybe take the girls to a French restaurant!
I do miss my little guy at home, who is staying with our friend Brendan. Brendan said Papi cried for a little while when we left.... sop sop, I miss my Papi!
Wonderful feathercard, love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your pictures. Hope Papi is doing well and you will be home soon.

This is the prettiest card Kirsty. I just spent a few minutes trying to figure out exactly how you made it because I love how it turned out. Susy and I are going to NYC in just a few months hopefully it's not so cold then.
ReplyDeletebeautiful feather card. I haven't tried the set until now, but i have to do that soon. Love the shadow look of the feathers.
ReplyDeleteBy the way...the ice must be very yummy, with this temperature :-)
I love your card!
ReplyDeleteI have the same stamps and you've inspired me to use them at last!
