Purple Peacock...

Happy Tuesday,

I showed this card during the launch but didn't explain how it was made.  Now that some of you have seen the shows it will seem quite easy, it is!


Using the large media plate I added shades of pink and purple izink dye ink pad and a little of the silver pigment ink to the plate.  I brayered over this to merge the colours then added a peacock feather over the top of the plate.  Next I added a piece of paper over the top of the plate and feather and brayered over this.  This makes the pice that can be seen in the back of the card.

I removed this piece and then removed the feather before printing the plate onto a piece of card in the press to impress stamp press.  Where the feather is the ink is left in place with the detail of the feather 'stamped' onto the card.  I matted each piece onto a deep purple before adding to a large card blank.


For the main panel I cut a circle of white card using the stitch dot press cut dies.  I stamped the floral circle onto this using the Ink colour of the izink ink pads.  I rotated the circle and stamped a second generation stamp over the top to fill out the circle.  I stamped the sentiment, from the same set, in the centre using blackcurrant ink.


Finally I matted this onto more of the purple and the card is finished.

Enjoy...
