Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations....

Good morning my friends and welcome to my blog.  Wednesday has rolled around once again and I'm here to share another card I made using the Ornate Peacock Collection.  You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery with a listing of all the products used.  


My card's finished size is 6" X 6".  I made the card base using Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper because it is such a great weight for making cards.  I picked one of the card bases on Sheet 1A of the paper collection and covered the base.  I used one of the squares of the Cut Mat Create dies to cut a piece of Sheet 1B of the paper collection to cover up the center of the card front.  

Stamp the window with Night Sky ink onto watercolor paper.  Cut out with coordinating die.  Also cut just the window topper which has also been stamped with Night Sky ink. Emboss with clear embossing powder.  I used Night Sky to color some of the window just to add a bit of color to the white edges.  Glitter the topper using #85 Crystal Glitter and set aside to dry.

Stamp the peacock and the flower topper with gold ink and emboss using clear embossing powder.  Using a waterbrush and Peacock Feathers Distress ink color the peacock.  Cut out with coordinating die.  Using a pink Zig marker color the flowers and cut out with coordinating die. Add Heart of Gold Prills to the flowers.  Set aside to dry.  Use #85 Crystal Glitter to add sparkle to the flower topper and the peacock.  Set aside to dry.

Cut a center for the window using clear cardstock and glue to the back of the window.  When dry add dimensional strips to the back of the window and pour in chunky glitter, Minnie Pearl Prills and blue sequins and glue to the card front making it a shaker card.

Glue the window topper to the window then add the peacock and floral topper with dimensional tape.  

Using Night Sky ink stamp the sentiment onto one of the tags on the paper collection and cut out with coordinating die.  Add glitter to tag and allow the glue to dry.  Using dimensional tape adhere the tag to the card front.  The card is ready to go.
