Happy Sunday! It's the 18th of the month today (already!!) and that means the Stamping Sensations team is sharing some more inspiration with you for our "For a Lady" theme. There is still plenty of time to join us if you haven't already and as always you may join in up to 3 times for more chances to win! As a reminder there will be two prizes, one is a voucher from Crafty Individuals and the other will be 3 craft stencils.
I played with the Splash Watercolor technique for the background then did some inking using the stencil from this Tim Holtz stamps and stencil set.
The peacock is an old PSX stamp, I'm pretty sure this was a thrift store find
for just 50 cents a couple of years ago but this is my first time using it.
He's been stamped directly onto the inked background and then colored with my
Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. These
pencils not only color beautifully on white card stock, but over differently
colored papers too, in this case inked papers.

The sentiment is another thrifted stamp, one I found recently and also by PSX.
This is a longer verse but I only used part of it.
More stenciling along the bottom using
this
Altenew stencil and
Blueprint Sketch
ink. I'm sorry I don't exactly remember what other inks I used on the card, I
was short on time and was rushing a bit. I know one of the inks is
Picked Raspberry
though. I remember trying to figure out a purple shade and now I don't
remember which one I had chosen.
For the sentiment and image I used my usual
Versafine Onyx ink.

Beautiful card Ellie - the colours are a gorgeous combination, and that peacock is so elegant!
I wish I could find stamps at thrift shops, but they don't seem to end up there around me.
Stay safe
