Fabulous isn't it? I love peacocks. Those tail feathers are so gorgeous. Looking at this picture made me remember the extra peacock feathers I had and I was determined to use them in my card. I loved the Art Deco feel of the picture too so I ran with that idea as well. Take a look at my card...
I'm very happy with the results of this card. I used a interlocking circle embossing folder (Darice) for my background panel. Then I added a strip of patterned paper matted with some black. I printed off the sentiment using Microsoft Word and used the font called Broadway. I trimmed it down and attached it to the strip. Then I added a piece of old costume jewelry and a peacock feather. I just love the colours of that feather!
I hope you will all join in on the fun. I look forward to seeing all your amazing creations. We have a wonderful guest designer as well. Pauline of Crafting with Cotnob. She made a gorgeous card and you should definitely stop by and give her some love! Her colouring is amazing! Check out the other Inkspirational DT members projects too. They are all fantastic!
