Royal Peacock Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you may card using products from the Noble Peacock Suite.   Noble Peacock!  This suite has all kinds of shinny things in it.  It has foil, foiled specialty Designer Series paper by the way that's a great weight for 3d projects, rhinestones and a wonderful Peacock Stamp Set.  Here's a look at my card.

I started off with stamping the Peacock with Blueberry bushel and Pretty Peacock inks using the Stamparatus.  I stamped both colors at the same time.  I then added the second layer of the peacock image by stamping the second layer of feathers with versamark.  Then I added gold stampin emboss powder on top and heat set it.  This added just the right amount of texture to the peacock.  I then used my wink of stella to color the top part of the Peacock.  This gave the perfect watercolor look with a couple simple steps.  
I added the designer series paper to a piece of whisper white cardstock as a mat.  The I cut a piece of blueberry bushel and ran it through my embossing machine with the Beads and Baubles Embossing Folder.  I then added that to a piece of whisper white cardstock as a mat.  Since I did die cut the peacock out after stamping it using the matching dies I wanted to add a little white to the card and break up the Blueberry Bushel just a little.  
I heat embossed my sentiment on a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock using versamark & gold embossing powder once heat set I punched it out using a 2" circle punch.  I added some of the Pretty Peacock Foil behind the sentiment.  I used the starburst punch to punch that out and mounted it with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added a knot made from the old olive/pretty peacock reversible ribbon with a mini glue dot.  To finish off my card I added some of the Noble Peacock Rhinestones around the card.  The rhinestones are currently on backorder but will be in stock soon.   
I hope that you like my Monochromatic card today.  If you need any of the supplies that I used you can pick them up in my online store 24/7 by clicking on the shop tab above or by clicking on the items in the Shopping List Below.  I look forward to working with you and being your demonstrator.

Kylie's International Blog Highlights Daisy Lane Encouragement Card

Hello and welcome to my second post today; I am going to share with you a card that I made for Kylie's International Blog Highlights.  I used my Featured stamp set the Daisy Lane Stamp set for my card today.  I am going to sharing with you all types of cards you can create with it this week.  The theme for the Highlights was Encouragement and the Daisy Lane Stamp Set has some great sentiments for just that reason.  Plus some wonderful images as well.  Okay okay here's my card.

A Little Shine: 

For this card I used the fern image from the stamp set and stamped it onto a piece of Pretty Peacock (2019-2021 In Color) cardstock with Versamark ink.  Versamark is a clear sticky ink used for embossing or watermarking.  I then added silver embossing powder to the sticky ink and heat set it.  If you haven't ever watched a image heat emboss it's so much fun and amazing to watch the powder go to a molten liquid and then harden again.  After I had that done I went ahead and heat embossed the sentiment that reads "it's your time to shine" with the silver embossing powder on a strip of Basic Black Cardstock, and sat it aside to cool completely.  I then added my peacock layer to a Basic Black mat cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and added it to my thick Whisper White card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4). 
I then added some silver thread loops to the front of the card using just a little snail behind where the sentiment was going.  I then added the sentiment on a couple Stampin' Dimensionals.  At this point I felt like it still needed a little something something.  So, I got out my clear wink a stella brush pen and flicked on some glitter.  This added just the right touch, sadly it doesn't really show up in the photos.  You can kind of see it here in the close up.  
For the inside of the card I stamped a few of the ferns in Pretty Peacock ink on a piece of regular whisper white cardstock.  I also stamped Friend from the stamp set for the inside sentiment and then attached it to the inside.  I also did the same thing to the envelope.  
I can totally see me at Christmas using this card but having changed the sentiment to a more Holiday Greeting instead of the encouragement one I used today.  I think it would make a very pretty Christmas Card.  
I just love how it turned out and I hope that you do too.  If you love my card please vote for me as your favorite over on the highlight page.  If you find another designers card you love more please vote for them; they are all great.  And, by the way have created some fabulous cards for you all.  To vote for my card and check out what everyone created click here.  
Happy Stampin'
