Watercolor Wash Peacock

I was itching to use my new background stamp called Watercolor Wash. And while I was looking around to see what other stamp set to pair it with... my Perfect Peacock was calling out to me!

And this is what came from that call:


I started out and applied Lost Lagoon ink all over the Watercolor Wash stamp and then added some Tempting Turquoise ink onto stamp just randomly. Then I spritzed it with rubbing alcohol, placed the white cardstock on top to "stamp" it... that's how the "marbled" look in the background was done.

I then stamped the peacock 2 more times on shimmery white CS so I could color in the flowers and then cut out by hand. I also did a little watercoloring on the peacock... 

Here is a look at the card mid-way, to show you the difference before I colored in the bird some:



I actually like both looks and think it's personal preference...
