Peacock Lady



I made a flesh colour using H2O's then painted a fine wash over stampboard.

Next I stamped and emboshed the head onto stampboard and coloured with H2O's. I scratched the edges for texture and dabbed with cotton wool bud and chalk pad to give a tourquoise colour to emphasize her neck.

Also used cotton wool buds and chalks for eyes.
Then I stamped the whole stamp onto a glossy card embosing with gold and coloured the feathers on head dress with H2O's.

Using red stickles for the jewels and head dress. I edged and shaded glossy card with chalk eyes. This was then mounted onto gold and tourquoise card and two layers of peacock background paper (from CD Rom).

The ribbon was then stamped with tourquoise chalks to match. The black card was then edged with gold pen.

Absolutely stunning Denise and the way you have overlaid the stampboard image over the base image works perfectly.
