This card is in honor of this week's FS, Bridget Finlay. Bridget is one of the sweetest stampers here on SCS. She is so kind to leave encouraging remarks on artists work. The card of hers that inspired me was:
I changed the theme from leaves to feathers, and changed the color from teal to blue. I also mounted in on to a navy plaid dp to make it more masculine. Another encouragement card for my dear Son.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look. Hope you like it

Oh, Barb....I just love this - I love feathers, I love stamping with black over colour, I love watercoloured backgrounds, and I love clean space - so you get the picture about what I think of your beautiful creation! Thanks so much for your kind, sweet words as well as your CASE, my friend, sending a big hug! xx

Oh Barb, when I saw this card it took my breath away...and then when I read that it was encouragement for your son I was even more moved. As the mom of two boys, I know how your heart must have been in this gorgeous creation. Everything about it is stunning. The stars and beautiful feather, perfect sentiment, colors and overall design all add up to a stunning card. Pined and faved.

Barb, I knew this challenge gallery would be beautiful, and your card is a stand out in it for sure. There isn't a card Bridget has made that I don't like, and your "Case" of her card is stunning! Top notch, Barb!

Barb, this is just amazing. Your background is perfect and the whole neutral tone of this card is so great for a masculine greeting. Really a lovely work of art!
