Peacock Perfection.

Hi there Lovelies,

Hope your week is going well so far, not long now until the weekend.   Today I would like to share a card with you I made for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Craft's for their show on Create and Craft in January this year.   I have used their gorgeous peacock stencil, an acetate wrap and of course, the fabulous sparkle medium.   Hope you like it

Begin by making a base card from gold satin card and  take a  piece of black shiny card,  slightly smaller than the gold and put it through an embossing machine, along with the trellis stencil and emboss.  
Matt this onto the gold card.   Using the Memory Box corner die,  die-cut four corners from another piece of gold satin card.   Glue one in each corner of the black card.


     
Take a piece of acetate and lay the peacock stencil onto it and spread the sage green sparkle medium over the design, using the metal spatula.   Remove stencil and leave the image to dry.  

      
Cut the acetate to fit the base card and make a wrap, securing on the back of the card. 


   
Die-cut  the flower and leaf stem from gold satin card, using the Memory Box die and a die-cutting machine.   Glue these to the bottom right corner of the acetate wrap.



Apologies for the flash  spot on the card but, this card was very difficult to photograph, as the flash is reflected on the shiny card and the acetate.   That's all for today my Friends, hope you like it.   Many thanks for visiting my blog,  hope you have found it of interest and if you would like to leave a comment, I would be delighted.   See you all soon with my project for the Imagination Craft's Challenge Blog on the 1st. November.   See you then.


                                                                 Love and Rainbows,

                                                                   Hugs   Jennifer xx.

    1. Hi Linda, thank you, glad you like it, acetate just adds that little extra something, I think.
