Now, I'm not sure how I feel about the little ledge I have him standing on (good idea or not?), but I LOVE how the spots of Turquoise Stickles dress him up! It's uber sparkly in real life, though I'm not sure the picture does it justice.
Why not look for some outline images in your stash that you could stamp in black on white cardstock and then dress up this way...with a just a little glitter, bling, embellishments, or coloring? It's quick, easy, and has a fun graphic impact!
Many thanks to all who have wished me well after yesterday's rather whiny post. I'm still feeling icky, but my energy seems to be coming back. This, too, shall pass...hopefully in time for Christmas, which is looking to be white here in our corner of Ohio!

ReplyDeleteI still think the peacock is gorgeous. Must try some of this stamping stuff. Mostly rely on Cricut, Cuttlebug and SVGs to enhance my cards.

Susan, I am lovin' the peacock cards - I may have to get this little critter for myself! It's whimsical, but not cutesy, KWIM? Glad you're feeling better today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card, Susan! I love your idea for going black and white with a little bit of dressing up. I'll have to keep that in mind!
ReplyDeleteJust love the peacock stamp. The spot colour works brilliantly!! I'm not sure about the shelf!! So glad that you're feeling better today.
ReplyDeleteMust try to get the OLW card done!
What a gorgeous effect, I love it and may follow your advice :o)

Love your peacock cards ... not sure about the little shelf ...
ReplyDeleteLove your peacock inspirations from yesterday and today. I have this set and it has not yet seen ink. I'm glad you are feeling a little better.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. Not a good time to be under the weather!
ReplyDeleteLove the peacock stamp and your card. Merry Christmas!!
The peacock is a lovely stamp, even without coloring him. And I love the bling on him! However, I do think I like him best colored the way you did yesterday -- a peacock is meant to be over the top with color. I'm on the "uh-uh" side of the ledge; it looks a little out of place. Maybe just a very light shadow under him would work to ground him?
ReplyDeleteI really like what you are doing with the peacock!! (I will not impulse buy, I will not impulse buy.....)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the ledge....I think it might need a bit of shadow, as Sue suggested
I'm going to need to try this with some of my peacock collection. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove the turquoise stickles on the peacock but I'd leave out the little ledge - it looks a little odd to me. Lucky you having a white Christmas - up here in Vancouver, Canada, they are a rare thing.
ReplyDeleteI think its fine to have a "floating" peacock ! He looks wonderful with his stickles. Happy Christmas to you and yours!
