I decided I would make a card for Alphabet Challenge which has got round to the letter P and the the theme of Peacocks, Pelicans or other birds, what did I do ? got out a Polar Bear stamp LOL ! After I finally got my brain in gear I found this old Kanban stamp , I think I had bought the set for the other stamps on the sheet. I made an Inky background with Creative Chemistry inks, a bit of splattering and some stamped leaves from the same set. The peacock is stamped with Cobalt archival ink and coloured with mermaid lagoon distress ink. I then stencilled some sparkle medium through a swirly stencil, coloured another piece of cardstock with the mermaid ink as I couldn't find any toning card and dyed a piece of seam binding . I'm not a big fan of peacocks (is that a pun ?) as we had one who took up residence for a while in our small close, they make a terrible mess and an even worse noise!
Oh, Joan...
ReplyDeleteich bin begeistert. Der Pfau sieht traumhaft schön aus.
Die Farben sind so realistisch bei dem Vogel.
Und der Hintergrund so fein und zart...
Ein wunderschöne Karte.
Herzlichst Sophie
