We hope you'll play along!  The LEAD of this challenge will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!  Please visit the Curtain Call Challenge blog for all the challenge info and deadline.  

Here's my take on the inspiration photo.  The beautiful dreamcatcher is front and center in the photo, but for my design, instead of a dreamcatcher image, I focused on the dreamcatcher's feathers.  My feathers are from the Waltzingmouse Stamps Funky Feathers set.  I stamped them in pigment inks on thick vellum, then cut out the stamped images with the matching die.  I arranged them in the upper left corner of a pale gray panel stamped with the large background stamp from WMS's Woodgrain set.  To anchor the feather trio, I placed a twine bow at the top of the stack. The bow's a bit larger than I'd usually use on a cardfront, but I wanted to bring in the thread element from the dreamcatcher.  The "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers" sentiment was stamped on the lower right side of the panel in brown ink.  I wanted to bring in some pops of blue to the design, so I added a trio of enamel dots around the feathers.  They bring a bead-like element in to the design.  The finished panel was adhered to a darker gray card base.
