Proud as a peacock

Good morning folks, weekend is here at last and before I go and get inky in my craft room here's a card featuring the gorgeous Indian Textiles stamps, one of this month's new releases from Chocolate Baroque.  

I began by making an inky background using distress inks (peacock feathers, picked raspberry and mowed lawn) and a spritz of water on my SplodgeAway mat and once the inks were dry I over stamped with the large ornate flower using gold stazon, it doesn't show up too well in the photo unfortunately. I then stamped the Taj Mahal silhouette with versamark and embossed with WOW gold EP. 

The peacock image was coloured with Graph'It markers and promarkers and die cut with spellbinders .I've added a gold die cut to frame the peacock and some ribbon and a peacock charm from my stash.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

ABC Challenge: pink, green and blue

Card Crafters Circle: die cuts and/or dry embossing

Creative moments: things with wings

Inky chicks: use a background image

Make My Monday: create your own background

Thanks for popping by,

have a good weekend
