A peacock feather was the inspirtation for the colors in this. Flourishes had this inspiration piece as the Friday Focus. The dt cards are stunning!
I love the bronze/copper, royal blue, and turquoise found in a peacock feather. So it was easy to create a card with them! I decided to ink up this gorgeous chair for the first time, and I embossed it in copper ep, paper piecing it with this paper from Basic Grey boxer. It had all the colors I wanted to focus on, and I thought the pattern would work well as upholstery too.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look!
Have fun stamping!
