I have a friend who recently celebrated a big birthday and she really likes anything to do with Native Red Indians so I made her this card which she loved.
The papers and elements I found in a digital kit from Raspberry Road Designs and I had a Joy Feather die that matched beautifully to the theme. I used 3 colours of distress ink on the die cuts to mimic the feathers in the digital cluster on the left hand side of the card. Then I rummaged through my stash for the leather thong and the beads to thread through the eyelets I had put down the right hand side of the card. The skull and feather cluster was printed out a few times and decoupaged for interest and I cut the '50' using the Tim Holtz Vintage Market die. The inside was decorated simply to match the front.
