    And your 2nd card is so pretty & rich in colors.

  27. Oh, wow! I almost didn’t see the feathers in the first card. I was just admiring the simplicity of the color and sparkle with the black&white sentiments. The second card is over-the -top lovely. Thank you.

  33. Hey Laura! I don’t really keep up with blogs anymore, but I always see your gorgeous projects in my email. Had to stop by today to say how much i LOVE your card with the white embossed feathers and the ink blending. So dreamy, so hopeful, so perfect for the sentiments you added. Many cards are pretty, but that one has a lot of meaning too. Hugs, kelly
