What’s your feeling about Pretty Peacock? Well, I’ll share with you my experience with this colour which is part of our Regals collection and one that we are highlighting for our Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop this week.
Back in 2019, Pretty Peacock came in as one of our 5 new In-Colors for the 2019-2021 range. During that time I had a bit of trouble warming up to this colour and was quite pleased when it’s tenure came to an end! However, it seems like I was in the minority because it returned last year as one of our core colours.
It’s funny how over time one’s tastes and styles can change. I don’t mind Pretty Peacock now and these monochromatic challenges are definitely getting me creating with colours out of my comfort zone.
So for my card today the first element that came together was the 3D flowers.
3D FLOWERS
To create each one, I die cut 3 of the flower shapes from Vellum using the Flowers of Beauty dies. I used the Graceful Greenery Vellum which is in our Online Exclusives range.
Then I coloured each one with Pretty Peacock ink using a Water Painter. Once dry, I went around the edges with a Bone Folder and pushed in the centre with the Bone Folder on a Piercing Mat. This curved the edges up. Then I glued the 3 die cuts together to form the flower.
For added texture I embossed the postage die with one of the Flowers of Beauty dies which formed a beautiful impression on the Cardstock.
Some Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems finish this card off along with a simple sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set.
