Went to one of my pools today and came face to face with a very large peacock! I guess he escaped from the nearby Zoo in Folsom. Glad he was friendly! By friendly I mean he didn't chase me! I was like two feet from him! He did go up to the customer's front door. I thought maybe he was just stopping by for a brief visit! LOL Boy are they ever colorful! I chose to use the deep blue on my card today because of Mr. Peacock. It reminds me of him...or her. I couldn't tell! So, here are my brief details....
Decided to flip the sketch today. Stamped and colored my images using Koh-i-noor color pencils and gamsol. I then versa marked and clear ep them.
Added the black and white border to my panels using my square stamp. I then versa marked and clear eb'd them.
Sponged the bg of my panels with bashful blue. Stamped and clear eb the sentiment. Cut out with a word punch and popped up.
The trees were stippled using a stencil from Stencilability. I then cut them out and doodled them. Popped up one of the trees.
The dark denim panel was paper pierced using a snowflake stencil and then I sponged the color on.
This card is a rarity for me because I actually left the edges white! I did this so the snowflake paper piercing would show up better. But, then I doodled the edges because I just couldn't help myself! LOL So there you have it, hope you like it.......TFL :0)
