Inspired by Kate

Hi all, I'm here today with a card I made for a couple of things - A Kate Bush inspired competition to make a card, and the WMSFC, which has an open theme of anything goes using WMS. I would also like to enter this into the WMS Pyjama Party,  and the challenge I am going for is an older set.

Back in September I had the great luck to see Kate Bush in concert 3 times. She is an artist I have admired for many years, since I was a young girl, so to actually get to see her perform was a dream come true. In the show, at the end of the second half, she transforms into a bird, with huge wings, borne aloft. It was a breathtaking moment. She sings, just before the transformation 'My beautiful Wings, my beautiful Wings, they're so exciting' so I've made a blackbird wing!







I have used Fine Feathers stamps and dies, and embossed the feathers using pearly embossing powder, which shimmers against the black card I used.


I added some black gems, and a clear sparklet to the top of the wing for some extra sparkle.


The sentiment is computer generated, using her line My Beautiful Wings.

I hope you like it!

Thanks for looking,

Pauline

Pauline - this is fabulous. I think you're so lucky going to see Kate Bush three times. Jonathan and I are so jealous ;) I think this is super homage to Kate's show. Thanks so much for playing along with our final challenge at Waltzingmouse Fanatics. Deborah x
