The colour we're featuring this week, in our alphabetical-ordered tour through Stampin' Up!'s colour range, is Pretty Peacock. This beautiful rich green features in the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, which forms the focus of my card.
The leafy paper (how beautiful?!) was matted on a layer of Pretty Peacock card. I then added the Pretty Peacock paper, and floral paper.
Using Stampin' Blends markers in Highland Heather and Pretty Peacock, I coloured two Paper Butterfly Accents. My photography doesn't show it, but the butterflies have a shimmer, thanks to Wink of Stella brushed over the top of the colours. I added Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems (three on one butterfly, two on the other) to their bodies.
Before adhering all the layers to the Crumb Cake card base, I used a Notes of Nature Die to add some interest to the top of the leafy panel.
Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon was wrapped around the middle of the card front, and a bow added.
I stamped the sentiment, from Hooray For Surprises, in Crumb Cake ink on Basic White card, and cut it out using a Something Fancy Die. A couple of larger Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems adorn the sentiment label.
Inside the card, I added a Basic White card layer, with a strip of the leafy DSP cut with the same Notes of Nature Die used on the card front.
