Peacock

Time for another challenge over at

Feathered Friends (may be angels)

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, just remember, you must use and IKEsART image to be eligible for the prize.  Why not pop on over to the store, Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :)

For this fortnights challenge I am working with the adorable image  - Peacock.  I have used this image so many times, it is one of those I keep coming back to reuse :)



A pretty simple creation in the end, once I had coloured the image my creative thoughts flew away and were nowhere to be found.  After playing around for about an hour I could not get the finished card to look like I wanted it to and left my craft room in a big sulk - hahhaha.  Oh well, first job in the morning - get it finished.

So here we go with what I did.  I started by printing the image and colouring with Promarkers.  I then added some of the bits of my peacock feather to the image, the sheen is just magical :)  Once that was done I added lots of blue glass gems and then trimmed the excess feather bits off.
 Promarkers used
I mounted the image on to a Sizzix doily die then mounted that on Spellbinders Grand Labels 1 then the onto Spellbinders Scalloped Squares - I wanted lots of layers on this card. The top three layers were mounted using foam tape.  Using the eye of the feather I drew the tops bits in as they were to big for the card, part of the problem I was having earlier.  To cover the silver thread I used I added another blue glass gem.  A birthday peel off sticker was added for the sentiment then a turquoise bow with a beautiful turquoise gem, recycling of my daughter's broken necklace hehehe.  I added lace behind the feather then attached to the card.
Here you can see the gems sparkling - yep this is a real sparkly card :)

  14. You used a real peacock feather, I've not seen any since I was a child, I used to love collecting them, what a fantastic memory you created for me. I have to say that colouring is something extraordinary given that you've used promarkers it's so elegant and I love the way the colours pop.
