Hi there! I created a housewarming gift for my friend and I'm sharing it
with you today! It's my project for Decorate to Celebrate and... wait
for it... there's a tutorial, too!
Here is the list of supplies that I used:
Heartfelt Creations Peacock Paisley Paper Collection
Feathery Peacock Cling Stamp Set
Peacock Paisley Die
Arianna Blooms Die
5 x 7 Shadow Box Frame
Black Ink
Black Swirls Bling
Chalk Inks
Foam Daubers
Blender Pen
Versamark Ink
Black Embossing Powder
Colored Markers
White and Black Cardstock
Foam Dots
Heat Embossing Tool
Shaping Tool and Mat
Adhesive-backed Pearl
Instructions:
Choose a 5 x 7 panel from the paper collection.
Cut it out and stamp the peacock in a soft color on the panel. Do a little
shading inside the image. Die cut the flower and stamen. Color the flower with
markers and shape. Layer with foam dots and adhere to panel. Add pearl.
Stamp another peacock on white cardstock and
shade lightly, then die cut. Adhere above the first image with foam dots. You can add the bling now or later.
Stamp a third image with Versamark and emboss
with black embossing powder. Color the image and shade deeply with the sponge
daubers. Protect the eye with a tiny piece of paper while shading.
Die cut the image after shading. Adhere to panel above second layer
with foam dots.
Insert into frame! That's it! You're done! This was a quick project with OUTSTANDING results!
Here is a photo that shows the three layers of die-cut peacocks. I think this could be done without shading the first two images, but I didn't know how much would show in the layers, so I added some.
I hope you've enjoyed my tutorial! Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Hugs!
