I have a design today using jewel tones. I was playing with a background using Dylusions spray inks along with a bit of Brushos and decided it needed a Peacock to go with the colours. Again the colours do not photograph as they look in 'real life' as it has sharper changes and more purple tones.
I sprayed the background with Dazzling Diamond Glimmermist and added Viva Kristall-Gel to the background using a Memory Box circle stencil. The shimmer & glitter doesn't show in the photo very well.
The Peacock from Chocolate Baroque's Peacock Parade Set was stamped with Cobalt Versafine Ink and then embossed with clear. I coloured him with Tombow markers, cut him out and attached along with some dainty flourish die cuts.
The flower dies are by Crealies - CL CF 21 which I coloured with Distress Inks.
Happy 2016, I hope it's a very creative one for all of us !
