"Zoo Friends"
I enjoyed the peacocks. Brought out a few supplies I haven't used in Years. The background on this first card was made with Versa Mark and PearlX. The peacock is embossed with black and colored with Metallic Pencils. Metallic Gold ink on the edges.
The background on this one uses Opalite Ink Pads. They are made to stamp on dark card stock. The peacock is embossed with black and colored with pencils. Metallic gold ink on the edges.

Pat,
Beautiful and elegant cards! Your BG using the opalite inks is so very pretty. I think I will have to invest in these pads - as they make such a wonderful BG!
Gorgeous!! Love the way you did the background with the feathers and shimmer!
What a beautiful way to do backgrounds with peacock feathers! I didn't even know you could get the Opalite inks anymore. I LOVE your cards!
