...Introducing Funky feathers and a comp!

 

Please note the Competition is now closed!!

Good evening folks! I have some Funky Feathers cards for you - this set is brimming with graphic feather designs in a sort of retro/modern style. 

I absolutely cannot resist stamping patterns with these...




This stamp is a cute take on a Peacock feather and there are a few little doodad stamps that you can use to customize the centres. There's also a little extra feather strand that you can use to add extra colour and I added it to the base of each of the peacock stamps, it works with all the feathers and it's just a little extra customization fun!


I could just spend all day stamping patterns, I love the fresh graphic style of these, I seriously cannot decide which I like best, the realistic Fine feathers or the modern Funky feathers...

OOh that sounds like a good competition question!! Leave a comment here telling me which set you prefer out of the Fine Feathers and Funky Feathers from what you have seen so far, one random winner will win their preferred set, I'll pick my winner tomorrow night at midnight my time!

If you can share this on Facebook and Pinterest also, it will be to your benefit - I will add an extra prize for each 50 folks we get playing along!


Also included is a little bead stamp...another fun detail for customization - and do you like the sentiment? :)


I added a handy gift card holder to the inside of this card just by stamping two feathers and slicing along one side of each, I positioned them so that the card corners just slide in under each feather.


Don't forget to leave you comment for a chance to win - ooh and please share this on Facebook and Pinterest also - I will add an extra prize for each 50 folks we get playing along!

Hope they tickle!

    Both are totally gourgeous and can be used for lots of projects. But I think I would go with funky feathers, and then when I think about it more I rather like the fine feathers too. I would so love to win both. Great stamp sets clare, really lovin yor work and great DT projects too

    Deciding between these two sets would not be easy. Love Funky Feathers for all the cool backgrounds and fun designs I could make! But after looking at the awesome DT samples of Fine Feathers, I so think I need that set too!!

  26. keeleykats29 June 2013 at 01:40

    Such a hard decision!! I love them both! I would probably order Fine Feathers first, then next time order Funky Feathers. The DT did a wonderful job delivering lots of inspiration!

    Hi Claire

    First of all I want to say that your cards are great, I like the different patterns and colour combinations very much.

    Which of the two sets do I prefer? That's really difficult to say because I like both very much (though until now I have never thought about feathers in the form of stamps).
    But after seeing the great patterns you made on your cards and because I like "playing" with patterns, I would say I slightly prefer the Funky Feathers.

    Thanks for the chance to win and have a nice day!

  41. Angelnorth29 June 2013 at 09:20

    Hard to judge, particularly as I seem to have seen far more done with Funky Feathers but I'm typically a realism girl so I'm going to plump for Fine Feathers as my fave by a slim margin!

  42. Keren Baker29 June 2013 at 10:18

    Hmm. Choose? What kind of a word is that?!!! Maybe fine feathers- but rather love them both. Have pinned them so they don't fly away in the wind ;-)

  45. The Hardy Stamper29 June 2013 at 12:26

    Both sets are lovely, but if I have to choose one then it's FINE FEATHERS for me. Our house is always full of feathers as my husband is a fly - fisherman and makes a lot of his own flies out of real feathers. I often sneak one or two to embellish my cards, but now I won't have to as I can stamp them instead! Thanks for the chance to win.

    I love the look of both, and know that it would be a valuable addition to my stamp collection to have both!! Well done Claire they look fantastic and I can't wait to get my hands on some feathery goodness!!
