Hero Arts "Old French Writing" and Wordsworth "Just a Note" stamps,
Die-namics Notebook Edge Die
Die-namics Notebook Edge Die
Several months ago, I came across Lia Griffith's beautiful paper feathers on her blog, Handcraft Your Life. Since she generously shared her template and instructions, I was inspired to make a few feathers myself. Feathers seem to be quite popular these days.
Maile Belles' post "Perfectly Simple Lunch Notes" was my next inspiration in making this "note" card. Starting with plain white card stock, I cut out a small top-folded card with my Die-namics' Notebook Edge die and then drew in the blue and red lines with my colored pencils to make it look like composition paper.
Finally, the old French writing background was inspired by the photo inspiration from Fusion Card Challenge #17. I'm not sure if the rub-on heart is a good fit there, but I needed something to fill in the blank space, for lack of a signature.
Isn't it wonderful what you can learn from the talented and creative people in blog land. Thank you all for sharing your ideas and thank YOU for taking the time to visit my humble blog.
Have a great day! ~Shirley

Now this is just perfection Shirley.
I love this style of card so very much and I'm totally useless at making them, but you've done it perfectly.
A clean and simple design with the exact balance of enough white space and enough detail.
It's awesome!
And you made the feather?
I need to go and read the tutorial...thanks for sharing that!
Big hugs
