I love to play along with the sketch challenges at Cardabilities. The design team make such beautiful cards full of layers and embellishments enough to make me swoon. And here I come with my CAS designs, I'm sure they don't know what to make of me! I love the challenge of taking their sketches and adapting it to my style.
For this card I incorporated the colors from Hand Stamped Sentiments along with the Oh Feathers challenge at City Crafters. I love a challenge where the colors are black, white and a pop of something bright and cheery.
I made a slightly grungy background then added the feathers. One embossed in white on vellum and the other stamped in hot pink-ish with a smattering of embossed black dots. I think there are dies to go along with this stamp set, but honestly sometimes I think it's easier to fussy cut them out than to try and line up the stamp and die perfectly.
Well that's it for me today. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Supplies:

Paper: Classic White (Flourishes); Basic Black (SU); Vellum (Papertrey Ink)

Absolutely gorgeous!! Love your card ... Thanks so much for playing along at CCCB!
I think they all sit and marvel at your cards like the rest of us Jen!! This is BEAUTIFUL my friend!!
This is fabulous! The touch of pink with the grunge would make a lot of teens I know smile!
Oh my word, this is fantabulous!!!!!!!!
The pop of pink against all that beautiful black and white really makes this gorgeous card stand out! Congrats on being Designer of the Day.
fantastic take on the sketch and the grey and pink feathers are so beautiful!
Oh so pretty! Love the soft vellum feather :)
You totally nail these challenges with your CAS Jen - love everything about this card!
Totally agree about the die thing Jen - I never seem to line it up properly so the image looks wonky! Pink. black and white is my absolute favourite colour combo so naturally I love this...especially that light spattering of ink on the feather!
They probably think Wow! This girl can stamp! :) Love this one so much!
Your design is right up my alleye and you nailed our challenge. I love your card! Thanks so much for joining us at CCCB!
Lookin' GOOD! I am so impressed that you fussy cut the feathers so artfully. I am totally lazy and have been spoiled by the cutouts. I love the grungy background on such a clean card, too! Thanks for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments! ~ Erika
