Well I just couldnt resist another card based on this superlative site, Groovy Inclination.
As much as I saw mostly asian coming through this artist's gallery, I saw mostly asian on this golden feather image from RubberNecker's Stamp Oasis collection as well.
I opted to leave it uncolored since I love the design and think sometimes images are just as spectacular uncolored as they are colored. Of course, there's not just one card that provided my inspiration as much as it was several of pieces. So there you have. This is another one of my mind-wondering attempts to recreate a wonderful artist's works.

This is gorgeous Anne!!! The image is beautiful, but I really like how you created the gold frame on the textured white cardstock. And, I also like the black "scraps". You have really created a nice piece here. TFS

Well, if my mind-wandering experiences resulted in wonderful creations like this, I'd be so delighted! I just love the gold and white effect. But, alas, when I let my mind wander off all by itself, all that happens is everyone near me seems to think I have simply lost my mind...but you've heard the expression 'Of all the things I've ever lost, I miss my mind the most!'. Yup...
See there, it happened. I was supposed to be telling you how much I love this purdy card and my mind tripped off on it's own. But your card truly is a real Anne Ryan gem...!

Oh Anne, just look at that beautiful close-up of a feather - or it could be a butterfly wing, too. Just stunning, and so elegant. I love those little black curls of paper and the contrast between them and the soft white ribbon.
