Handmade Feather

Hi!
   Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Here's a card I made yesterday, the embellishment for which was made from scratch.

Here's another view.
Supplies used:
Digi Images - Paper Smooches
Bling
Poster colours
Scissors 


The image above is of the paper I made with poster colours. It was my first attempt in creating a background for a card but played with it too much in an attempt to produce a marbled effect using a cling wrap and made a mess of it. So I decided to use the best portion to cut out the enlarged digital image of a feather, then created barbs with scissors and folded the shaft. I added some bling as the feather looked too lonely. I liked how the feather turned out and  I hope you like it too.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges...

Oh my goodness, what a fabulous feather, it gives a whole new meaning to the adage "a mistake is a design opportunity", although actually I don't think your painted paper was a mistake at all, I think it is wonderful. Thanks very much for sharing your idea with everyone at Soartful.
