Peacock Feather Die
by Sharon JeffsThe Frantic Stamper Precision dies create just a wonderful array of die cuts that so much can be done with!
After die-cutting my feather I used different coloured Chalk pastels that I applied with my finger to gain the coloring that I wanted. I found that the best way was to choose a lighter shade and apply it over the whole section then I used a darker shade that I applied along the centre section to give dimension.
One thing that I always find challenging when using pastels is how to set them but this time around I chose to use the Distress Rock Candy, also applied with my finger in dabbing motions.
My feather turned out so wonderful that I really wanted to create a card with it immediately. Here is what I ended up creating ...
