Feathers -- and Friends With Flair

I've been having a great time with the Nov. Unity Kit of the Month.  I LOVE the feather stamps.  They've been getting lots of inky action.  Here's some cards I made with them:

 

These first two cards I left plain and flat for easy mailing.  After looking at them for a bit, I thought maybe they needed some bling.

So, there's my "bling-y" versions.  Still very simple, but some sparkle was added.  Then, a friend told me about a color challenge on the Authentique blog.  All the paper on these cards is Authentique, so I decided to check it out.  With a little modification, the same theme worked for their color challenge. Here's the colors of the challenge:  slate blue, denim, and leather.

And here's the card I made...

I'm guessing you've seen plenty of feathers, so on you go for more Friends With Flair inspiration.
