Peacock Friends

Hi there, Suzy here featuring some of the new March release. This Peacock Friends stamp set is just beautiful and I don’t think I’ve seen another peacock stamp set, so fairly original too! I used the two birds, but not the feathers on this card. I also used a set of leaves from the new Spring Wreath set.

I made the background with a SSS Tiny Dots stencil, Texture Paste, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink – there are directions and details on this blog post about making backgrounds ahead of time (installment 3). I die-cut the bottom section using the Scallops Border 1 die. I used Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron with a Ranger Blending Tool on it.

I stamped the peacocks from the Peacock Friends stamp set using MFT Natural Ink on white cardstock. I colored them in with colored pencils (both Prismacolors and Polychromos). I colored them with one color and then added little lines of several other colors to mimic the look of feathers. I used a black fine tip marker for the eyes.

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set with clear embossing ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I added some Mermaid Mix sequins around the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today!
