Runway Inspired Challenge #43

I'm playing along with a "new-to-me challenge" today. 
That is to say, I've seen it many times before, but this is my first time participating in 

Here's the inspiration photo for Challenge #43:


And here's what I was inspired to create:


I diecut my new Lil Inkers Chevron cover plate with some PTI stamper's select white card stock 
and layered it over some PTI true black card stock.
I diecut some PTI Summer Sunrise cardstock with my PTI notched banner die & trimmed it down.
I stamped a feather from my WMS Fine Feathers set onto some vellum and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I added some buttons with twine to finish it off.

Thanks for looking!

Wait, where's the stitching? Where's the patterned paper? Where's the collagey style? Hahaha, way to rock another look too, Leigh. It's such a wonderful card, and you've done a great job with a different style.
