Inspired by...Peggy

Okay, I know I say this every week, but it's true! I am sooo excited to announce our new featured artist.  This week it is one of my good friends, Peggy, who's work I have admired for some time.  And I am one lucky gal, because Peggy is an "In Real Life" friend who I get to craft with face to face here in AZ.  Here is our first inspiration card by Peggy:

This card by Peggy is just so happy! And it's filled with lots of FAB details.  I love the way she has added the white behind the bird cage.  And how about that beautifully inked and stamped background background? LOVE it!

Now in keeping with the happy bird look, here's my take:

Yep, it's another canvas!  (don't worry, I'll have a card tomorrow- LOL)
*PHOTO TUTORIAL AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROJECT HERE*

I began by adhering patterned paper and tags to an 8 x 8 canvas using matte finish decoupage medium.  I colored with a blue metallic gelato around the edges of the paper and tags and then blended this using a baby wipe.  The birds are from my stash of chipboard (sorry, I don't know the manufactuer).  I colored them with a red gelato and then blended the color using a baby wipe.  Once dry, I stamped each bird using a purple Stamper's Big Brush Marker and Penny Black Paisley Outline.  The birds feathers/tails have Stardust Stickles and the edges are inked with Black Soot Distress Ink.  Finally, the sentiment is by SRM Stickers.

Thanks for popping in for a visit- I'll be back tomorrow with another GORGEOUS Peggy creation!
