It's Tickle a Teapotter time and Susie is our guest hostess this week...you'll find her challenge and her catch-up with what's happening in Whykickamoocow HERE.
I have so many bird stamps that I couldn't decide which one to use to make a card for the Best of Birds category at the festival - so in the end I used none. Instead I found scraps of all sorts of backgrounds in a rainbow of colours and made a peacock. I already had the background, because LIDL recently had some glossy photo paper and I was curious (hopeful) to see whether it would work with DOX inks, smooshing them and then sponging all the oxidation off. As you can see - it worked. Yay. I stencilled some texture paste over the bottom part, added some brown fibre for the bird to perch on, and then decided to stencil a few stars with gold paint, sprinkled with gold glitter, in the top part. Stuck the piece to a white base and added black pen borders.
I stole the feet from a cardinal! I don't know why the peacock didn't come with any. The cardinal ones aren't really long enough, but for a perching bird they'll do.
