Don't let life ruffle your feathers

Good evening peeps.
Hope you are all well and keeping cheerful in these troubling times.
As a crafter, I tend to retreat to my room and immerse myself in making to take my mind off all the negative news.
I know it might be considered trivial compared with what is going on out there in the world at the mo, but it gets me through the day!
How about you? Why not escape to your craft room and join us for this month's challenge at HLS CAS. Here's my card.


Sorry about the photo but the sun was too bright and casting shadows in my usual spot!
This month our theme is -



I combined a coupe of challenges for my inspiration, AAA Cards and Time Out.
This is a quick one layer card made by stenciling and stamping.
I first stenciled a few feathers using a free stencil with Wilted Violet DI, then added some texture to the foreground feather by stamping the matching feather with Versamark and clear gloss EP.
The photo doesn't really show it but in reality there is quite a bit of texture there.
A simple sentiment from the set was added to complete.
So how will you interpret the challenge, there's more inspiration by the rest of the DT here.

  3. I think you do the right thing retreating into your craft room but unfortunately my hubby is working from home and taken over my craft area-so no crafting. Hoping at the weekend to sort a new area out! And your card is just perfect for this time. Love the different purple and the sentiment is just right. Thanks for joining Time Out

  5. A great card Jules, love the delicate colour and the sentiment too. To avoid the news I take myself off to my work room, walk the dogs and strangely, at the moment, poo picking has a certain appeal too!! Keep well xx

  13. Great CAS card, Jules. I love how you created two plans on the card. These bright feathers give the impression of a second plan, depth on the card. Great design.
