I loved, loved, loved the picture that was provided as inspiration. The colours were so bold and vibrant against the black, and I loved the feather look to it. I really wanted to make something based on that picture, but I had to think about it for a little while.
I knew I wanted to use Bold Brights against black and a bird image... and Pearl Ex! Once I got that idea, the rest came together pretty quickly. I bought all three sets of Pearl Ex before they retired and it was just the right project to use all those bright pigments on.
I stamped the Paisley Print background in Versamark on black and rubbed striped of colours on it, trying to blend the colours into one another, following the spectrum of colours.
Then, I used a blending pen to color in the toucan with Pearl Ex, also.
Finally, I finished off the look with those bright eyelets that I never get to use since the colours are so bold.
Hope you like the results!
