Growing in Unity - Day 3 - Pretty as a Peacock

Welcome back friends to day 3 of my Growing in Unity week! Today I wanted to share a card I made using the Pretty as a Peacock set of stamps. I love this elegant stamp - the peacock is such a regal bird and it's so much fun to color!

I started off by stamping the peacock onto a piece of watercolor paper using VersaMark ink which was then embossed with white embossing powder.   I then set about playing with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Paints. Adding a bit, letting it dry then adding some more. The key to the whole process is layers.

After the paints had dried I trimmed and mounted the panel on a black card blank. I stamped the sentiment (from Naturally Beautiful) on a piece of black cardstock with VersaMark ink and embossed with white ep.  A frame was diecut from Gold/Gold Glossy foiled paper from Rinea using the Geometric Oval Frame from Gina Marie.

I finished the card off by adding lovely Fimo peacock feathers and sequins from Doodles Paper Playground Limited Edition Sparkle Blends sequins mixes. They are the perfect compliment to the lovely peacock don't you think?
