Sneak Peek: Peacock Friends

Hello, Gemma here today. I’m excited to share with you a sneak peek of a fabulous new set called Peacock Friends. I think you’re going to love it!

To begin my card, I stamped one of the peacock images from the set, then coloured him with copic markers. I think this is a great set for having fun with different colour blends. I used the following copic colours:
  • B00, B02, B05, B97 for the body and feather detail
  • E43 for the legs
  • Y15, Y17 for the beak and feather detail
  • BG11, BG23, BG15, BG49, YG01, YG03 for the peacock feathers

I die cut him with the coordinating die, then added some white and black gel pen details and clear glitter pen.

Next, I worked on my card base, adding colour with distress oxide inks in evergreen bough, peacock feathers, and twisted citron. I blended these from darkest to lightest.

The set has two peacock feather stamps with beautiful detail, just perfect for embossing on acetate. I cut a panel of heat resistant acetate, the same height as my card base and about 2” wide. I treated it with an anti-static powder tool, before stamping the peacock feathers with clear embossing ink. I then heat embossed them with white embossing powder.

Next, I cut two pieces of white card, one 2 1/4 x 5 1/2”, and the other 5/8 x 5 1/2”. I adhered the embossed acetate panel between them, to make one panel the same width as my card base.

I stamped a sentiment from the Peacock Friends stamp set, then adhered the panel to my card base with foam tape. This gives some dimension, which helps the embossing on the acetate stand out even more against the colourful background.

Finally, I added my peacock image to the card with foam tape, to sit above the sentiment. I then adhered a few Blue Lagoon Jewels, which bring out the blue of the beautiful peacock.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek at the new Peacock Friends set. Visit us tomorrow for another sneak peek!
