Peacock Zen 03900
Don’t you love these nouveau images? So fun to color! And Jen’s Zen background is huge and full of areas to color, or not…it looks fabulous in black & white. But I love to color, so I stamped an area twice for my top & bottom sections and had a blast coloring them in. It didn’t take too long..the sections don’t go behind the image. No reason to color a whole big page if you’re going to cover up the middle. The peacock was fussy cut and added on the nouveau branch panel which I die cut the top & bottom w/ a curved border die. The Happy die cut was colored to match. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.
