Peacock butterflies

Well I've had a really inky time this afternoon and tonight and you should see the mess in here! I came across some Starburst stain inks that I've had for several years, I bought them as dabbers by mistake so they got shoved away in the cupboard, anyhow tonight I put some of them into mini misters and used them as sprays, they do have the most glorious shimmer to them!. The Peacock stamp is from a Kanban set and has never seen ink before although I have used the other stamps,it always looked like it would be too much bother to colour but I really like the effect on here, pity the shimmer doesn't show up on here.I made this card for Make my Monday challenge

    What a gorgeous inky effect Joan. The colours are so lovely and the peacock looks lovely stamped on them.
    A very clever way to avoid colouring!
    Thanks for joining in this week at MMM too.
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    What a gorgeous card. Perfect colours for the peacock and I just love the background of the main card. It all works so well and they blend so beautifully.

    See you at Harrogate!

    Hugs, Neet xx
