I absolutely love the colours of peacock feathers and while on holidays I had a chance to take some photos of some. I’m going to build up a digikit and to start I made this congratulations card for the things with wings and bird challenges (see end of post).
I inked the edges of the card with distress ink. I made the backing paper using a close up photograph of the peacock back feathers- they have a beautiful scallop shape. Hopefully there is enough glitz and glamour for the paper shelter challenge.
I adapted a swirl cutting file from Linda (many thanks!) to fit a square card and then added an oval in the middle of the page (I always love a good old flourish and swirl challenge!). As ever my Cougar has cut it my textured card brilliantly- I’m loving to have enough time to play properly.
In the middle I cut an oval on a slightly different shade of card and out it on with foam pads. I altered my peacock photograph to give it an artistic brush effect and I printed and then cut it on the Cougar. I layered it up further by making two more peacock feather papers to use with my sentiment.
A close up to show the cut an texture of the card.
I made the inside paper using Craft artist- I kept it to one layer so it is a flatter card but used the elements from the front to keep it consistent.
