Today, I am featuring one of my favorite bundles in the new catalog: Royal Peacock. You can purchase the Royal Peacock stamp set and Detailed Peacock dies together in a bundle and receive a 10% discount. There is a link to my store at the end of this post, after the blog roll. As soon as I saw the new catalog, this bundle was on my “must have” list. The entire suite of products is absolutely stunning! The papers and ribbon that coordinate with this suite feature a gorgeous color combo of Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock. So pretty!

Today’s Colors:
The detailed peacock die is absolutely stunning, so I decided to make it the focal point for my card. After die cutting the image in Rococo Rose Cardstock, I dressed it up with some shimmery detail using Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint mixed with 70% rubbing alcohol in one of our Stampin’ Spritzers. You just fill the bottle with rubbing alcohol, add a couple drops of the paint and shake it up well. After the die cut image was dry, I added some pearls to make this pretty peacock EXTRA fancy.
The Rose Gold Foil paper actually pairs up really well with Rococo Rose, so I decided to pop in a little more sparkle to accent the sentiment. What’s wrong a little more sparkle, right? I was also super-excited to use the new 1/2” Gathered Ribbon on this card. It has a soft shimmery detail and is even prettier in-person. I created a little “ruffled” detail with the ribbon simply by adding a glue dot between each of the “folded” layers to hold the ribbon in place.

Omigosh! I've never seen such a beautiful peacock - definitely Rococo Rose if I ever saw one. I love how you did the Scalloped Linen Ribbon to mimic the layers of the tail feathers - INGENIOUS! Thanks for the inspiration. xx
