The challenge at Critter Sketch Challenge was to use purple and flowers. I used a digital image by Dustin Pike and it is part of his Doodle Dragon Zoo collection. The challenge on the Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge blog was to use flowers. I printed it out on SU white glossy paper and embossed it with black ep. Since the printer ink stays wet longer on glossy paper it worked great.
I colored the peacock with SU markers and used a blender pen to try and blend the colors. I think I managed to blend them together pretty good. The base is embossed with my Big Shot and the SU Sizzix texture plate, Damask.
