Our house guest was looking for something very specific by way of a card, and came home from a trip to the Scripture Union bookshop yesterday with something totally different as being the best they had. So, she picked out this verse and I made the card for her this morning. I used the Faux Stamped Leather tutorial for the background, stamping the feathers with Memento chocolate brown and then following the tutorial. It's matted on black, then a white base. The feathers - one was stamped with antique linen DOX on black, the other two with black on a piece of card I'd smooshed with antique linen and scattered straw. I added some Gorgeous Grunge spatter in aged mahogany.
The verse is stamped on a piece of faux suede created by distressing some Bazzill by putting it half a dozen times through the crimper and then pulling it apart. I backed it onto a piece of cereal box for extra strength and sponged the edges with walnut stain after cutting it. It's stitched on at two corners, and the main panel is stitched with no thread, because I couldn't find my paper piercer at the time.
The feathers are tied with gold cord which has a couple of beads threaded onto it. One feather is popped up with foam.

This one jumped from the thumbnail! Sabrina this is fabulous. First off I thought those feathers were real! Wow, what a great job you did with those and I'd never think to use them on black. Love the distressing you did and aging of the paper. Gorgeous card!
