Leafing with Pretty Peacock
Back again with Nature Spotlight and Brights & Beautiful designer series paper. A somewhat of similar type as the leaves are colored in but this time I used a Blender Pen and kept the Wink of Stella. Wink of Stella adds the perfect amount of sparkle and shine without adding bulk to your card.
The layout of this card is simply a Pretty Peacock base followed by a layer of Pretty Peacock that is attached with pop dots and then a 1 1/2” strip of Brights & Beautiful designer series paper and then I stamped the leaves in Pretty Peacock ink and used the Blender Pen to color in and added stamped off little dots and finally Wink of Stella. I gently roughed up the paper and added inking around the entire image to look like a layer, but again it doesn’t add the weight to the card. Finished it off with some Adhesive-Backed Texture dots.
Supplies: Spotlight on Nature stamp set, Pretty In Peacock & Basic White Card stock, Brights & Beautiful designer series paper, Pretty in Peacock ink pad, Wink of Stella, Blender Pen, Adhesive-Backed Texture Dots & Pop dots.

This week I am featuring Brights & Beautiful designer series paper along with Spotlight in Nature. I loved this set when I first saw it, but when I went to grab it, it has never been used, so I had to fix that! I think it will be available online when the new catalog comes out. But lets talk about the paper.
It’s is on the last chance list, so better get it while its still here and that’s a fantastic price!!
I am starting the week out on a purple note! This card is special since I fussy cut the butterfly, something I am not a fan of doing is fussy cutting. One little item is okay, just not me!
I stamped the butterfly in Blackberry Bliss onto the Basic White 2” square and then I stamped another one onto a scrap piece of Basic White, fussy cut and used pop dots to attach it to the square. I couldn’t find my Fresh Freesia marker, so I used a little q-tip and dipped it into my Fresh Freesia ink pad. I couldn’t use a blender pen since the Blackberry Bliss ink would run. Finally added a little Wink of Stella and some purple gems and it was complete.
This card did not photograph the best, it looks better in person, the shine and sparkle from the Wink of Stella & gems is perfect!
Supplies: Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White Card stock, Spotlight on Nature stamp set, Brights & Beautiful designer series paper, Blackberry Bliss ink pad, Fresh Freesia marker or use my alternative, lol! Wink of Stella & Purple Gems. The card is a normal side card, which opens from right side, the BlackBerry Bliss squares are 1 1/2” square and the Basic White is 2” square. Pop dots were used on the BlackBerry Bliss base layer and on the Basic White 2’ square.

I love the gray/pink combination and it works perfectly for today’s card! I used the cow builder punch and it better than fussy cutting, but the extra parts going flying when punch. It took a little work getting the head and body lined up in the punch and as you can see, I am off a little. I used scrap pieces of Whisper White card stock, so that I had plenty of room in the punch, the body is at the bottom of the punch. Pebble Path is one of the in-colors that will be retiring at the end of April. I used the card stock and the marker, but it shows up here looking black, but its gray in person.
I used the too largest squares from the Styled Shape dies for the base of the cow. I stamped the single flower in Petal Pink on the piece of Petal Pink card stock. I glued the cow head to the body and used pop dots to adhere the cow to base.
I just love the way this card turned out! Pebble Path ink is showing up much darker than it actually is in person, it looks black but I used Pebble Path ink for the saying & the cow and then the marker for the spots, feet & tail. The designer series paper is Country Lace and will be retiring at the end of April as well.
Supplies: Petal Pink, Pebbled Path & Basic White card stock, Cutest Cow stamp set & builder punch, Stylish Shape dies, Big Shot, Pebbled Path & Petal Pink inks & markers, Basic Gray & Smokey Slate Pearls & many pop dots.
