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.

Introducing the Ornate Peacock Collection from Heartfelt Creations...

Good morning everyone and welcome to my blog!  I'm here this morning to share a card I made using the brand new Ornate Peacock Collection.  You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery along with all the details for making one of your own!

My finished card is 5" X 7".  Cut a piece of cardstock 7" X 10" and score at 5" to make card base.  Cover with a piece of Sheet 6B of the paper collection.  

Using the largest die in the Rectangle Filigree Frame Die, cut two die cuts; one in white and one in gold.  Glue the two together with the white on top of the gold and offset a bit so the gold shows through behind the white piece.  Glue this to the card front and lets focus on the medallion piece.  Cut two of the next size down in the die set, one in gold and one in white.  Glue together with the gold under the white and offset so the gold shows through.  Glue this to the center of the card front.  Cut the next size of the dies using white cardstock and lay inside the embossing folder, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. Glue this piece to the medallion piece.

Now we are going to work on the peacock.  Stamp with Encore Gold ink onto watercolor paper and sprinkle clear embossing powder over the image.  Use heat gun to set the embossing powder. Using Peacock Feathers Distress ink and a water brush color the peacock.  I colored the flowers and leaves with Zig Clean Color markers.  Cut out with coordinating die and set aside.  Edge the peacock with Archival Night Sky ink.    When it dries, glitter and allow that to dry.  I added Heart of Gold Prills to the centers of the flowers.  Allow to dry.  I used Double Dots to adhere the peacock to the medallion and give some dimension.
