Pretty Peacock

Afternoon all. Did you all see the Metallic Markers on Hochanda yesterday afternoon? They had the original 12 colours but also a set of 12 new colours and they are lovely.

This is tag I made and it also uses the stamps that were available on the show and also on the Crafter’s Companion website:

For the back ground I coloured the tips of an old paint brush and brushed in over the card. For the peacock I coloured my stamp with the markers and then quickly stamped. Once this was dry I added some more shimmer by scribbling the markers on my glass mat and picking up with a water brush and painting onto the image.

The little feather in the background was stamped with VersaFine onto Hessian and then coloured with the markers

Supplies:

• Rubber Stamp: Graceful Peacock Stamp Set from Crafter’s Companion
• Colouring Medium: Spectrum Noir Metallic Markers Antique Elements Set – Antique Pearl Vintage Satin and Tarnished Silver
• Card:   Vellum, Purple Card, Centura Pearl Fresh White Card and Matt Black Card.
• Embellishments: Pearls and button (coloured with a metallic marker), Twine, Ribbon and Hessian
