Printed the digi on blue cardstock. Used Spellbinders for layers. Used 2 kinds of faux stitching: on the Base layer I used a Sakura Glaze pen & ruler to make stitch marks around the border and used an embossing folder, Cutlebug Pinking Stitch, on one layer. Colored the Peacock with pencil colors, glitter, markers & pens. Used a Spellbinder for the banners (it makes 3 so I cut one off since I only had 3 words to stamp) and heat embossed stamped happy bird-day. Added bling & ribbon.
