Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge #17 vintage feather

Good Evening Ladies,
I had a long day at work today. It was a good day. I had my card ready for Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge #17 vintage feather this morning but no time to post it. So here I am blogging in the evening.
You can see the challenge here http://www.atjoansgardens.com/2012/05/this-weeks-challenge.html
The requirements are...
Stamp a background
Do a vintage card
Use the colors Tan and Olive and an accent color
Use some kind of feather
I created my card using La Blanche stamps for the main images....La Blanche is vintage...Here is my card..

 To create this card I used a Hero Arts Iron Fence stamp for my background stamping. I used Tim Holtz distressed ink in crushed olive and tea dye to colorize my background. Oh I have to add I stamped all images on La Blanche paper. It is to die for and can be purchased at Joan's along with La Blanche stamps. The birds nest and the bird come from two different La Blanche stamps that I hand cut. The bird is colorized with distressed ink in tea dye and faded jeans. The birds nest is colorized with distressed ink in tea dye. These images are popped up. I added tan feathers out of my stash for the inside of the bird nest. On top of the feathers I used speckled eggs that I cut in half.

This is a side view of the card showing the popped up images and the little round bird eggs.
I really enjoyed this challenge. It took me days to figure out just what to do, but I love feathers! And I love Joan's Gardens.
Thanks again Joan and Selma for the awesome challenge!!!
Happy Scraps,
Mrs. Swandog
