I last shared a card using the Sea Horse stamp from a wonderful new Online Exclusive I was late in discovering. Today I have two versions of cards to show using another stamp from the set. This is a Peacock, and it is truly Majestic!
Natural Artistry Stamp Set
This stamp set is aptly named with the Artistry. The images are so special. Stampin’ Up! has some very talented artists doing the creating of our products. And this one is at the top I believe. I stamped this peacock to highlight the majestic look he has. You may wonder why the card is blue and the peacock is green. I chose Pretty Peacock (LOL) because peacocks have a green shade to them. Especially from a distance. ***** Don’t forget to look further down, I have a second Peacock card in a tad simpler version.
Background
To create a somewhat special background, I used the Everyday Arches. These are a favorite of course. They remind me of taking a photo through an arched opening. That is where the royal stage began for my peacock. The second arch of Secret Sea cardstock really helps to highlight the White one. I added some shading using Hydrangea Hue Ink and a Blending Brush to the White background.
Next is an embossed layer from Hydrangea Hue cardstock. This is the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder. Not only does is have the Fern, but it has the fun curlycue you see on the top left, and other leaves. A perfect fit for the peacock surroundings. Last is the card base of Secret Sea as well.
Sentiment
This small but mighty sentiment is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set. I love that it is on the smaller side. But it still has the mixed font and totally works inside or in a starring role on a card. I chose to fussy cut the sentiment so it lays along the bottom of the peacock layer.
Extras
There are a couple of Extras on this card. I added the Hydrangea Hue Ribbon across the bottom of the peacock to tie everything together. And it is a perfect place for the sentiment to sit. For the Bling, I added a trio of the Natural Matte Dots. They are in Secret Sea and are great in color and that they are relatively flat embellishments. This group of dots are in more neutral tones and to have Secret Sea dots is extra special.
The extra card is a simpler version of the one above. But just as majestic I believe. I used the same two Everyday Arches Dies, 2nd and 3rd largest, in a different way. A negative was cut of the smaller one to do the Blending and then that is cut out with the larger Die to create the border. This card is Pretty Peacock and Golden Glow.
