Fun colouring project - My little peacock card blog post

April 15, 2024

Happy Monday!

Sharing a little inspiration card made for the launch of my little Peacock Digi Stamp.

After launching the "Pretty Peacock" cardmaking kit last week as i was asked if i could do a digi stamp.. so here it is. I hope you like it

You can find it on the website here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/QIjon

Sorry the light wasn't great for this photo it was late when i got this finished and although my antique lamp that i brought all the way back from Canada is absolutely stunning.. the light it gives off doesn't make for good photos lol

i used a real mix of colouring mediums for this one

Colouring pencils - all different brands

Markers - a mix of brands

Wink of Stella to add a little shimmer

I also used some of my new metallic markers from deco art when you do dots the centre is silver but there is a ring of colour around the outside - i got these from B&M stores

I used one of the peacock feather backing papers from last week's 'Pretty Peacock" kit which you can find here if you would like to take a look - https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/3Jajp

I also used a little art deco mini ink pad to add a little turquoise shimmer to the outside of the topper

I hope you have liked this little project, if you would like to join me on social media you can find all of my social media links, my facebook page, my facebook group, my website, download shop, youtube channel, Patreon and tiktok here: https://linktr.ee/opulencebydesign

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day.
