I love this new peacock stamp and it just called to me to colour it in with my new blendabilities. It is important to use the right ink to stamp your image when using alcohol markers or you could end up with lots of blurred, smudgy edges. Memento ink is the one for the job and both the ink pad and a refill bottle can be found in the new catalogue.
I don't yet have a darker blue collection -the night of navy set won't be out for another couple of weeks, so I used both the coastal cabana and the old olive sets to bring in some variety to the feathers.
I am still developing my skills, so there was a little bit of bleeding around the edges, but that is the perfect excuse to colour another peacock another day.
I mounted the picture on some mats of daffodil yellow and coastal cabana card to match the colours I used colouring the peacock and I thought this paper from the moonlight designer series paper stack worked beautifully. All that was needed was to pop on a sentiment.
Peacocks are such beautiful creatures to look at,but leave a lot to be desired in the vocal department. I suppose that is a lesson to us all - to focus on the talents and the gifts we have been given. None of us can be good at everything.
If you love colouring in too, why not check out the new blendabilities range and some of the stamps that have been introduced to complement them.
