That being said, I created this birthday card for my daughter (I don't think she checks my blog so hopefully I am safe) whose birthday is at the end of September. When this "Beautiful Peacocks" stamp set was released by Hero Arts, I quickly let Julie (the ABC store owner) know how much I had to have it!!! (DON'T PANIC, this set is temporarily on back order and will be in the store SOON..... SEE it is a MUST HAVE)
Take a closer look at My proud Peacock's bling bling and how much fun he was to color.....
This time I colored using my Copic Markers but wouldn't this be fun to try using other mediums?? Trust me, the spaces are color friendly so whether you are an expert the Copics or just starting out, you will feel like a pro.
HERE is a peek at how I stamped the inside of the card using two more of the stamps that this set includes (the Birthday sentiment is not part of this stamp set)
ABC Toys & Crafts PRODUCTS USED:
CHALLENGES I USED:
One Stitch at a Time: Girlie &/or Color Scheme (I used both but I was also inspired by the circles in the color scheme)
Little Red Wagon: Paint (that beautiful paper behind my main image was HAND PAINTED in Florence, Italy)
The Pixie Cottage: Family (this card is for my daughter but my post was also about our family birthdays)
Shirley's 2 Girls: Critters with a TWIST of Feathers or Fur (yea, how was this for twisted feathers?)
Cute Card Thursday: Material Girl (I used a piece of crochet lace)
