As Light as.....

....a Peacock Feather.

It's my Grandma's birthday on Feb 6th so I thought I would make her a card using something from my crafty creative box.

I'm not sure where I got the idea to turn one of the leaf skeletons into a peacock ut that's what I decided to do and here's how it went...

You will need;

A blank card
acrylic paints
leaf skeleton
tissue paper
paint brushes 
glue

First draw around the leaf skeleton onto your blank card.


Then using your main choice of colour fill in the outline. Before the paint dries completly place the leaf skeleton on the paint. 








Decorate the leaf skeleton- I trace a few of the lines and added some "eyes". I also painted on two legs.




Once the paint hhad dried I stuck on a piece of tussue paper for the head and body. Give it some eyes and a beak and there ya have it!
