{11.14.2011} pretty as a peacock
Paper Smooches has put up their new SPARKS challenge.
Check out this awesome inspiration:
I love this fabulous scarf and couldn’t wait to create this card.
This peacock is the reason I wanted the My Peeps set. Isn’t he so adorable and so pretty! Once I saw the apple pattern in the scarf, I couldn’t wait to break him out and color him up.
I colored the peacock and feathers with Copic markers. Then added a little glitter glue to the center of the feathers. I only applied a little liquid glue to the tip of the feather so the other end would have some lift. This is a great way to add dimension without the bulk of foam adhesive. I thought about adding a sentiment but in the end I had to leave it blank. When I had finished applying all the feathers, I just couldn’t cover up any of them up.

I agree . . . no sentiment was the way to go. He’s so fantastic he needs to have the spotlight all to himself! LOVE how his feather extend off of the card!!!
