FMS226 - Again

Happy Friday, peeps!  This is what we woke up to in SE PA this morning:

Yep!  Winter is not finished with us yet!  It's really not bad; the roads are clear and it's almost over, and it is more of a nuisance than anything!  Another nuisance is a nasty head cold that has walloped me and is sapping my energy and creativity!  I used the FMS sketch again just because I was too tired to look for another one!  Here it is:

I did pull out the SAB Botanical Gardens Vellum stack as well as some Watermelon Wonder DSP for this particular card...it was the first time I used these pretty vellum prints!

I layered the vellum over the DSP, which was layered on a Watermelon Wonder panel and heat-embossed a sentiment from the Watercolor Wishes card kit (again...laziness ruled) and as you can see, I didn't use an Embossing Buddy, so my sentiment has some little additional flecks:

Still looks pretty on the vellum, though....and to carry through the feathers that are printed on the vellum, I diecut two feathers, folded them in half and ran them through my crimper to get this cool effect:

My horizontal panel is from the Color Me Irresistible Specialty pack...can you see the embossed dots?  It's subtle, but I love how they complement the polka-dotted DSP.  A baker's twine bow completes my card!  Thanks for popping in today!

Cassidy wanted to make a card yesterday for my friend and she specifically asked for a cardinal:

  and added sequin embellishments:

which she decorated some more!  I particularly like the eyelashes on the cardinal!  Enjoy your day!
