Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock – AWH Colour Creations Showcase Week 37

This week I am super excited to join the Art With Heart Colour Creations showcase for the first time!  This is a weekly event that allows various team members the opportunity to show their stunning creations using a nominated Stampin' Up! colour for that week. And this week it is: Pretty Peacock.

I have made 2 cards and a notecard to showcase the A Touch of Ink photopolymer stamp set. This set is FREE with a qualifying purchase as part of Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration promotion. But you better be quick as the promotion will end on 28 February 2021 - so only a few days left!

For my first card, the inks used are Pretty Peacock for the butterfly and sentiment and Calypso Coral for the flower petals stamped on Whisper White cardstock.  Momento black ink has been used to outline the butterfly, flowers and leaves.

The base cardstock is Calypso Coral to which I have adhered a layer from the Fine Art Floral DSP that has a painted brushstroke effect. This gorgeous DSP can be found in the current January - June Mini Catalogue. 

The next 2 layers have been cut using Stitched So Sweetly dies in Pretty Peacock and Whisper White cardstock. I have fussy cut the floral stem and leaves and layered this on top, finishing with some Gilded Gems on the butterfly wings.

And here is the inside of the card....

The second card features the stamped butterfly that has been die cut using the Tasteful Labels set which is a very versatile set with different shaped labels and sizes.  

I have also stamped the background in Smoky Slate ink. The butterfly label is layered on Pretty Peacock cardstock where I have cut the ends to create a banner and then embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

The next layer is from the Forever Greenery DSP adhered to Pretty Peacock and then Whisper White card bases. I have stamped the greeting with VersaMark on black cardstock sprinkled with White Stampin' emboss powder and heat embossed.

To finish I have added the trim from Forever Greenery combo pack in both Vanilla and Gold and adhered using the Mini Glue dots.
