Colourful Parrot

 Along with the Peacocks, the Amy Design: Colourful Feathers range also features Parrots. Here is a card I have made with one of the 3D Push Outs, and I have used the tail feather die from the Peacock set to create a stencil for inking through.

In this sample, I have worked with ovals as that is the shape of the decoupage. The Distress Oxides I used were Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers.

For the video, I demoed using a circular decoupage, with different colours. I cut a piece of stamping card, just marginally smaller than the piece I wanted to ink onto, and cut a circular aperture (oval for the sample) roughly in the middle. I then placed this onto my piece for inking, and sealed around the edge with low tack tape. 

 

I then used my brushes to ink through the circle, and briefly heat set it. Having previously cut the feathers die in stamping card, I laid this over the circular opening, and inked through it to create the pattern. The colours of ink I used in the demo are Candied Apple, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon.

I cut a frame from the same card as the base to go round the inked area, and I cut a mat to go under the decoupage.
