This week’s inspiration is all about feathers. Specifically the ones that are free this week on Creative Market. Aren’t they all gorgeous? Star Studios created these 8 blue beauties. They come in .png files which means they have transparent backgrounds. I love this format because they are easy to manipulate, layer, etc. So what did I do with one of these gorgeous feathers? DIY feather pattern and seed envelopes of course! The seed envelope shape is available for download from my tear-away seed envelope post. Want to make your own?
