Peacock Parade

This month's digi stamp set for the Imagine That Progressive Challenge featured some fine peacocks. The set included pre-coloured images as well as line drawings so I set myself a challenge colouring in a line drawing.

SAM_1466 (watermarked)

Materials used:
Imagine That digi stamp set - Pretty Peacocks with free extra sets
Spectrum Noir pens
blending card
printer card
A5 white card blank
Spellbinders Dies - Labels 23
feather stamp
birthday greeting stamp
Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad

Method:
I printed out my image on the blending card and coloured it in with the pens before cutting it out with a die. I also printed out a sheet of the coordinating backing paper, stamped the feather over it and cut out a mat with a larger die. I layered my topper onto the paper than attached to the front of the card blank. Finally I added the sentiment.

I have come to the conclusion that I am a CAS girl! Looking back nearly all my cards are plain and simple, not a great deal of embellishment. I do admire those who can embellish a card and make it look stunning, when I try it just looks like a jumbled mess!

Thank you for popping in. Take care.

Pippa

I would like to enter my card into the Imagine That Stamp of the Month Challenge

    Hi Pippa :) Your CAS card is gorgeous! Love your coloring. It's always good to step outside your comfort zone a li'l bit and try new things, but they key is to build on your strengths. Some people just cannot do CAS so if that's your style, go with it! :) It's especially elegant on white cards - This is stunning! xxKris

    I love this card! I love birds... Owls are my favorite but peacocks are right up there with them. Last Spring I entry with one of my best friends to Miami, Florida on vacation and while we were there I got a large tattoo of a peacock on my left thigh that takes up my entire upper leg. So of course this card has to be one of my favorite
