This card is specifically for a dear friend who turned 81 today. Happy Birthday, Don. :-D I hope I'm as active and energetic when I get to that age. Not that I'm decades away from it, mind you, but not there yet!
I used my ProMarkers to color the chicks, then cut and matted the image (which happens to be a From the Heart Stamps image, as is the sentiment.) I mounted that piece onto a cream -colored, confetti CS base before adding the ribbon and the feathers. I found a tiny, glittered flower and added a small, golden, Dew Drop to it.
I love using feathers on cards but forget about reaching for them most of the time. Maybe I need to change where I store them. I'm sure it's the old "out of sight, out of mind" thing.

Have a great Memorial Day, all my fellow Americans, and take a moment to remember why we celebrate the day. Reach out and say a huge Thank You to a veteran, won't you? Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
I did a different take on the sketch at From the Heart Stamps,
using feathers to replace the long, vertical strips,
and I used colors in the top row of the Color Bingo
