Peacocks........

Such beautiful birds when their plumage is on full show,apparently it's all down to pigment and light causing those beautiful iridescent Jewel colours.....which gave me the idea for my card....Here's A close up of a peacock feather showing the beautiful copper and blue tones;-
For my card, I cut a square one, the sparkle and shine sentiment in gold embossing powder seemed so made for this card, and of course glitter and alcohol inks are always fun to play with......

I covered the sentiment and added lines of double sided tape around the sentiment which I covered in some copper glitter I found in my stash, and using some scraps of acetate coloured them with alcohol ink in blues and pool shades and cut thin strips to adhere in between a couple of the glittered lines.......and nooooo the bird in the photo isn't a peacock we bought it in South Africa loved the shape and colour .....and it's a  Guineafowl!

  1. Love this card Sue. Great use of snippets and you really captured the peacock feather colours beautifully.

    Good to see you back with us this week! I had to delete a link which took me to last week's entry, it's never a problem for me to do it at this end.
