Peacock Bling



Long time no see, friends!

It's been such a long time!  TGIF!  Hope everyone is having a great weekend!  I LOVE this weather!  I've been away from the card making for a bit but made this birthday card for a dear friend.  I've always loved black and silver together and I really like the way this one turned out.  I found this Kan Ban sheet of die cuts when I was on a trip to Florida with my dad a couple of years ago and it made me think of a friend of mine who likes peacocks. 


The base card is:  6" X 5 1/2" in white card stock.




Supplies Used:

Dies:  Spellbinders Scalloped Circles and Standard Circles
Paper:  Black glitter, white and silver metallic foil
Inks:  StazOn Jet Black
Stamps:  Stampin' Up! 
Accessories: Flowers and black/silver rhinestones

Hello again, friends!

This card was cased from something I found on the web and being a nature girl, I loved it as soon as I saw it.  I think it could easily be used for many occasions, such as Birthday, Sympathy or Thinking Of You and I have not yet decided which occasion I'll be using it for, which is why there is no sentiment yet on the label.  

The base card is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2" in white card stock.


Supplies Used:

Dies:  Spellbinders Petite Ovals Large
Punches:  SU! Modern label and EK Success label
Paper:  Dark blue, light blue and white cardstock
Stamps:  SU! Serene Silhouettes (tree) and unknown flower 
Inks:  VersaMark (tree) and SU! Brocade Blue
Accessories:  Pearls, Cuttlebug embossing folders and clear embossing powder

I'm entering this card in the 613 Avenue Create challenge -
 #70 Anything Goes with the OPTIONAL Twist "Ba Da Bling!"

Thanks for looking!
