autumn feathers & happy fall

Papertrey Ink's September Blog Hop & Time Out







Inspired by this gorgeous art, I focused on the bird's tail feathers,
colors, and black background for my first card


PTI Stamps: Feather Finery & Tiny Tags
PTI Dies: Feather Finery, Mix & Mat: Postal & Tiny Tags
Misc.: background Hero Arts Envelope Pattern stamp, twine


With my resident bird-watching hubby, I couldn't ignore the bird!
The second card focused on the bird and red flowers on black.
Jim is off to Peru this weekend for a two week trip with his bird-
watching pals. His hobby makes it easy to purchase certain stamp
sets. ;-)

PTI Stamps: Autumn Pumpkins & Spring Woods
PTI Die: Spring Woods, SSS stitched rectangle die

    1. Thanks for asking. The photo is from Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park lady September. I changed it because it was sad to hear that so many areas in the Park and Montana were on fire this summer.
