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. 

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! 

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!

10 Minute Monday - 1

This is the first in the 10 Minute Monday series and it's really like a 12 minute Monday because I did add some distress inks and a little Wink of Stella off camera, but I did it really fast, so it probably only added about 2 minutes, haha.  I will be posting these once a week and hopefully I will get down to 10 minutes total. You can see the video below!

Hope you enjoyed that and check back later this week for another tutorial that's a little more in depth with some techniques.  Happy crafting!
