Peacock in the Moonlight

Today I have another entry to the CB colour challenge to share http://chocolatebaroquechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/.   This is a design similar to one I have done before but using different stamps and colours, but I love the concept of a bird  with a big moon behind it and the garden bathed in moonlight.  I have used stamps from CB's Poppy Meadow, Tangled Peacock, and  Punky Flowers sets; Pebeo Dyna paints and H2o's; Majestic Blue Versafine ink; die cuts and an embossing folder.   I started with the background panel, and stamped the flowers across the bottom half of the panel in Vesafine ink then heat embossed them with clear powder.  Next I painted them with H2o's to give them a lustrous shimmer.  Then on a piece of black card I stamped and heat embossed the Peacock image as before.  I used Dyna  paints because they are iridescent and change colour depending on the light like real peacock feathers, and the colours I used work best on black card.  I have tried to show this by doubling up the photos using different lights. I then cut the peacock out, and repeated this process with the blossoms on the branch.   Next I took a piece of white Centura Pearl card  and die cut a circle, then I embossed it with clouds in a folder.  I sponged Dyna paints around the edges of the moon to emphasize the texture and add shadows.  I die cut some branches and a leafy swirl from black card, and painted the leaves.  I sponged the paint around the edges of the panel and matted it onto black card, then sponged paint around those edges.   On a piece of contrasting card I stamped an image of a peacock feather with Dyna paint around the edges to create a border then attached the background panel to it.  I then inked around the edges, and attached it to a base card.  Time to assemble the scene.  I attached the moon first, then the branches and Peacock, adding the extra blossoms to the branches.  I added the leafy swirl to one of the corners.   I love this card, and the way the paints seem to make the images 'glow'.  This is a lovely worker card suitable for lots of occasions.
