Proud as a Peacock.

Hi there Lovelies,

Happy Christmas, hope you've had a wonderful day.   That's Christmas day over now until next year.   We have had a lovely day with our close family, a quick drink in our local, back home,  opened  our presents,  then had our  dinner.      Everything is now cleared up and put away,  our family have gone home now and  Hubby and I are chilling out in front of the log fire.   It is so lovely to have all the family together, just makes Christmas.    I  know this time of year is difficult for some people and  I fully understand some do not want to celebrate, to those people I send my loving thoughts.

Tonight I would like to share  a card made for Imagination Crafts in July of this year.

     
Cut a piece of white card,  card slightly smaller than the 7" x 7" white base card.   Paint all four edges of this piece of card, using the turquoise Starlight paint.   Matt this onto the base card.

    
Take a smaller square of white card  and colour with the  Sunshine, Light purple & Light green Mixed Media Spray Inks.   When dry, spray with the Gold Shake and  Gilt Spray, then when that is dry, lay the Peacock Feather stencil onto the coloured card and put through an embossing machine.

   
Whilst the stencil is still on the card, colour the feather with the Turquoise Starlight paint, adding small touches of the Menthol and Antique Gold Starlight paints, using the large stencil brush.      Matt this card onto the Turquoise edged card.

   
Using a Versamark pad, stamp the sentiment in the top right corner and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.

    
Glue three turquoise gems to the bottom right.

   
Die-cut the peacock from white card and paint it with the Turquoise Starlight paint.   Add touches of the Menthol and  Antique Gold paints.   Add a small amount of the Cobalt Alchemy Wax to the peacock.

   
Glue the peacock to the feather using silicone glue.   Using Magi-bond glue, fix a turquoise gemstone to the centre of the feather.

That's this card finished.   The sentiment and the die-cut peacock were given free with the Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine some time ago.

Have a great Boxing Day and I'll be back again soon.
