Inspired by Peacocks

The CD Sunday challenge this week "Inspired by Peacocks". So I thought what better than Peacock Summer Party CD by Glenda Waterworth of Chocolate Baroque, who are this week sponsoring the challenge. I am very neglectful of my CD collection as I tend to just reach for stamps and ink when I am crafting, so I welcomed the opportunity to make use of these lovely CDs. I printed the bp on 160 gsm text and graphics and the peacocks on satin finish photo paper. I cut one peacock our using an oval nestie and then cut around the other so I could decoupage it over the oval. The oval has been inked around the edges using broken china DI as has my A5 base card. I have used glitter glue on the "eyes" in the peacock feathers. The border has been cut using an EK Success punch, then spotty ribbon from my stash added. The two curly corners have been cut using a die I have had for ages, and once in a while I remember it again and it gets another airing. So that's it! A short post as it really was quite quick and easy to put together.

Thanks for stopping by, and please feel free to leave a comment.

    A gorgeous card Wanda, I love the colours that you've used. The border matches so well it could almost be an extension of the tail feathers.

    Hi Wanda and so lovely to see you joining us at CD Sunday. I love the way that you have done this with the peacock feathers coming out over the edge of the nestie. Everything matches so well and it's very pleasing to the eye.
    Best of luck with the draw.

    Hi Wanda, lovely to see you joining us at CD Sunday. A gorgeous card and your layout is superb. I love how you have decoupaged the peacock so the feathers appear out of the nestie.
    Fab colour choice and the ribbon is a perfect touch. Thanks for joining us at CD Sunday this week and good luck with the draw.
