This ATC is for a monthly stamp group meeting later this month. The theme of the swap was "Art Nouveau". It is nice to get it made early and out of the way.
I stamped the image and water coloured the peacock. I then fussy cut out a second peacock and layered it on top to give the card a bit of dimension. The peacock is highlighted with Gel Glitter Pens. The gel glitter pen doesn't show up really well in this picture but in real life it is very pretty and sparkly
My inspiration for this ATC was from the following image:

Your ATC group must llove you to bits, every single one of your creations are amazing. This must look even more spectacular in rel life. Your colouring is jaw dropping gorgeous and the design is out of this world. Can you tell how much I love this!!!

Wow! This is stunning! This is one of the nicest art nouveau projects I have ever seen! I really love the rich, vibrant colors you created this in, and I know it looks amazing in real life. I love how you layered the peacock so it has some extra dimension. I am putting this into my favs! ~Karen.

This is just stunning, Helen. It looks exactly like a stained glass piece of art work. Your highlighting is done so well, and you used such pretty colors.
