Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I am so ready for fall. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like fall is
ready to show up. But, in the studio it can be any season I want.
I had a set of feather dies in my NBUS box and added an older feather die to
make a trio of feathers. They were cut from some mixed media paper and
smooshed in puddles of watered ink. I'm not sure what kind of bird they would
have come from, Maybe a turkey? I was in the mood for fall colors and I didn't
even think about a bird until they were done.
I dipped the edges of the colored feathers in VersaMark and added gold embossing
powder and heated. The photo doesn't show the golden edges very well.
They were added on an embossed background and I added some tiny gold punched
circles into the embossing.

Your gold tipped feathers are lovely, Bonnie, and I bet there's a bird out there that has shed some like them. Those gold dots are tiny and look great among the embossing.
I'd guess a turkey, Bonnie! Gosh do I miss their antics over on our 2-acre Woods! I see those gold edges, and they are wonderful with the colors you've dipped into. Gorgeous embossing, too!

Your fall colored feathers look pretty Bonnie. The gold edges make them even prettier. Love the embossing with the gold dots.
Beautiful golden feathers and a lovely Thanksgiving card, Bonnie! I have that embossing folder, but haven't thought of turning it in it's side like that. It makes a wonderful horizontal border. Thanks for playing with us at Double D!
These feathers are magical, Bonnie. The color choice is yours, and if you say they're cardinal feathers, then they are. It's your world and your decisions, and reality has nothing to do with it. Fantastic card. I love your embossed background; it creates a lightness that perfectly complements the feathers.
hugs,
