Be a Peacock!

So I have been participating in the #sisterswithheartinart challenge on IG, and every week there's a new prompt, this week was  "Peacock", so I took it all the way. I started by drawing on black card stock.

I used Prismacolor pencils. 

Then I colored the body in and cut out the outline. 

Just the body, but I left the bottom connected. 

Then I got my bag of feathers. 

Might be messy... 

Then arranged them behind the body. 

First feather. 

Then I attached it all to a distress inked background. I also hand lettered the quote and mounted it on glitter paper. 

So many feathers! 

This did take a while, but It was really fun, next post will be my first post for Quick Quotes! Happy crafting!

Colored pencil on black card stock

I wanted to try doing some colored pencil work on black card stock and decided to do some masking as well.

i started by stamping white ink on black card stock.  

This is my main image, so it goes first, everything stamped after it will appear "behind" this. 

I finished my image and then masked all parts. 

Masking done. 

Then I colored in the image. 

All colored in. 

Then I fussy cut the image. 

Then I adhered it to foil card stock. 

Then that was trimmed and adhered to the base and the sentiment was stamped and embossed.

And the finished product after adding some accents with a white gel pen.

Done! 

I used some flower stamps for this, but you can really use any image you want to color. I used Prismacolor pencils and a blender. Happy crafting!
