This week we are tickling each other with feathers!! I ran my soft suede mat through Tim Holtz' brick wall embossing folder and then brayered some white craft ink over it to give it an old look. I attached that to my soft suede card base. I punched my tag using SU's scalloped tag topper punch and ran that through the swiss dots embossing folder, attached the soft suede dotted ribbon and popped it up over my mat. I then stamped my image and punched it out using SU's decorative label punch. I colored my little bird with pool party marker and stamped my sentiment in soft suede. I popped it up over my tag and feather. Soon it will be off to tickle a teapotter!!!! L ladies.

I like that old look on your brick. What a creative idea that was. Your tag is so cute, too. I had that image and couldn't think what to do with it. Thank you for your inspiration!

I love that stamp - it's one I sometimes look at on eBay. What a sweet bird to have brought along to tickle a fellow teapotter this week, Mary. And a real feather too, how lovely! I couldn't find the ones I was looking for.

I love the simple tag with the tiny bird and brick bg!

Mary this is so lovely and the colours look terrific. Your little bird and feathers are great. Some lucky teapotter is going to be very happy to receive this.
