...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!

  25. 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I like the fine feathers the best.

  39. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  40. This is so tough - I love them both!! Buuuuuut... after seeing your samples today, I think I'm going to have to go funky!

    ReplyDelete
  41. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  42. 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 ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Both sets are gorgeous but Funky Feathers has the edge for me :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Your cards are gorgeous, each colour combo is special in it's own way. Both sets are great, but I'd go for Funky feathers.

    ReplyDelete
  45. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  52. these feathers are awesome! I love the patterns you created with the first feather!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I really love them both but my favorite thing is your "hope it tickles" sentiment! It is so appropriate with this set and so "YOU"!! And now we get to use it on our projects! Thanks Claire!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Funky for me! I sure do love your bright patterns! The fine feathers are so realistic looking though...tough to pick a favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love them both, and I really like the samples you made with funky feathers, but I have to go with fine feathers as my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I love all your samples but I think I prefer the feathers you used on your first few cards.
