I'm also playing along with Chupa's Sketchbook Saturday Challenge and the Color Throwdown Challenge. I die cut then stamped and white embossed the feathers. To color them, I squished the ink pads (Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Sahara Sand) and picked up the colors in the lids with an Aquapainter brush and painted on the back side of each feather. I discovered that adhering vellum to a card is easy and doesn't show through when I use clear Kool Tak foam pads (found mine at Simon Says Stamp). I die cut two sentiments - one in black and the second in Sahara Sand then off set them slightly for a shadow effect.

Love the embossing on the feathers. Such a striking card.
