Today, Audrie took us to France for inspiration! The site is called Pshiiit (French word meaning fresh and sparkling) and on it, you will find some very artistically painted fingernails. I was inspired by several but choose the peacock to case. I didn't notice til afterward that Audrie had included that among her samples to choose from. Here is the direct link.
Peacocks/peacock feathers are known to symbolize many things, including renewal and resurrection. I found this peacock feather 1-1/2 yrs ago. Since I am making some Easter cards, I thought I'd make a card using my feather to represent the resurrection of Christ. This card will go to my very dear second cousins, Gene and Nancy.
I used a SU Bermuda bay base and second layer of same for last Friday's F4A tone-on-tone challenge. I sponge distressed the edges in kiwi kiss. Since the peacock feather was something old that I'd never used, I am also adding it to last Thursday's WT gallery.
Thanks for looking!
