Well, have I got a project for you! Here is my Pumpkin Pie Peacock. Yes, I know, you've never seen a pumpkin colored peacock, but we're artists, we are allowed artistic license, right?
So here it is:
What I did was stamp the Perfect peacock image on this pumpkin colored DSP from the Sweet Taffy collection, using memento Tuxedo Black ink. The card is sitting on the DSP I used.
Here is a close-up of the stamped DSP:
I also stamped the image on a 4.25" X 11" piece of Whisper White card stock scored at 5.5".
Then I snipped the tail and wing feathers and paper pieced to the image on the white card stock using the Tombo glue. I cut on the outline of the feathers and let the tendrils show through from the image that was stamped on the white card stock. The secret to paper snipping is a good pair of paper snips. You need a pair (like the ones below) with ground tips that cut all the way to the end of the blade. It makes paper snipping and fussy cutting a breeze.
Of course, then there was some coloring of the leaves and flowers with the blendabilities. I took a few artistic liberties there also. So, of course, now I am on the lookout for other DSPs to use so that this Perfect Peacock can shake a mean tail feather!
Happy Stamping!
