Here's an extra special card that I made for my dear Aunt's birthday.
I know she just loves the new
Perfect Peacock image, so I decided to give him the extra special treatment. I colored him with my
Blendabilities and then fussy cut him out. I stamped him again onto
Tangelo Twist card stock so that all the little curls of his feathers would be there without having to cut those. (I don't mind a little fussy cutting but I'm not crazy! )
Then I set to work bleaching the card stock area inside the flowers, leaves and plumage on top of his head so that I could color those as well.
After painting on numerous coats of bleach using my
Aqua Painter, I managed to get the color down to a shade of yellow, which would be fine for coloring the
Old Olive and
Daffodil Delight areas, but not for the
Rich Razzleberry flowers. Those I colored on
Whisper White and cut out.
I attached the Razzleberry flowers using
Stampin' Dimensionals. I colored some
Basic Rhinestones using my
Coastal Cabana Blendabilities for some bling on the flower centers, and in each corner, etc... I even colored in the rhinestones on one of those gorgeous
Frosted Finishes Embellishments I had left from last years Holiday Catalog...just love those! It made a beautiful center to the
Hello Honey satin bow.
The silver frame that fits the
Decorative Label punch is something else I had in my stash. To complete the base I embossed the Tangelo layer using the
Fancy Fan EF...it's design compliments the feathers well. A strip of
Coastal Cabana card stock and one in
Bermuda Bay were scalloped using the
Scallop Edgelit.
Thanks for visiting today!
