My card today is another real bird, I've had this stamp for ages, but couldn't think what to do with it. I was rummaging in one of my ribbon drawers and came across this unused ribbon. I found Oxide inks to match, then laughed that they were "peacock colours". Then spread the ink, hoping to make lines or something. It didn't quite work, but I liked the colours, so out with my feather stencil, that I cut myself with the Cameo and stencilled the background with Distress inks to make a subtle background.
I stamped the Peacock and embossed with white ink. I also inked, stamped and embossed in white again, a feather and sentiment from the same set. The feathers were attached to the tail, and I cut the sentiment on a diagonal and also added it onto the tail.
The ribbon was attached to the card, after cutting the wire from it and fraying the edge. The peacock layer with 3D pads was laid on top. A few clear sequins added, and the card was done.
Very stylish card Faith, fab background and great use of the stamp.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Uniko win!
He's an elegant fellow Faith and great idea using white EP as he really pops against the inky peacock coloured background.
