Sharing a card
featuring a stunning stamp from the Let’s Shake Our Tail Feathers set by Picket Fence Studios.
I chose this
stamp so I could play along in the current the eyes have it challenge at Country View. I know there’s no face or optical
eye on my card but the patterns on peacock feathers are known as and, indeed, are
some of the prettiest eyes you will ever see.
I embossed the
stamp to let me enter The Paper Player’s challenge. The gold embossing really suits this image.
To add in my
colours on the feathers I dusted on some of Stampin’ Up!’s Pigment Sprinkles. I think the colours worked beautifully and they
also match with those from the inspiration photo at Sunday Stamps. The eyepopping colours work really well with
the border of black, also one of the featured colours in the inspiration photo,
and the overall effect really is bright and bold.
I combined one of
the sentiments from the same Picket Fence Studios set with part of a Penny Black sentiment (the it’s your birthday) embossed in the same gold on a scrap
of black cardstock. Really happy with
how this turned out and it’s actually early for a March birthday so yay for me!
