About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Peacock Doily Card

Peacocks seem to be very "on-trend" again, at the moment. And today, I have a peacock themed card to share!! This ones uses the Amy Design:Colourful Feathers 3D Push Out, and also the Peacock die from the same collection. 


For the background, I inked a piece of stamping card with a combination of Wild Honey, Peacock Feathers, Lucky Clover and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides. 

The doily on which the decoupage image sits, is made up of two of the tail feather pieces from the die set.


They line up really well to make the complete circle doily! Matting and layering it all onto some co-ordinating card makes the colours pop! It's as easy as that!  If you want to watch the video of the demo, then click on the main picture.
