And now to my card!  I'm using the new feathers dies today and boy are they fun!!!  I've been seeing the new tribal trends out there, so I thought I'd use my die cut feathers to make a dreamcatcher.  To create the dreamcatcher "net", I used the tiny open leaf stamp from Reflections.  For the frame, I used  some simple circle dies on woodgrain card stock.  Then I attached my feathers that I die cut from vellum.  


I added sequins and small gems instead of the usual beads.  This card is SO not my usual style, but I so enjoyed putting all the different parts together to make something completely different!  


Thanks so much for stopping in today!  Have fun hopping!

Mahalo and Aloha,
jj
