     Feathers-

    This Stamp set can be used in many different ways. I made this two cards from a Close to my heart Spring  promotional paper packet but it would look great with the Seaside and Chalk it up Paper packet. I used alcohol markets to get this colors. I outline the outside of the stamp image with a light gray to give it dimension. Use colors of your print paper to color your feather.

    This stamp set is in the Close to my heart catalog on page121.
    Feathers ( set of five)  #C1584    $ 13.95
    Block size 2" x 3 1/2"    #Y1009   $7.50
