Hi!
It's Colour Creations Creative Showcase time! This week we are featuring Pretty Peacock - pretty by name, pretty by nature! It's a gorgeous, deep teal that is fast becoming a favourite. I will be very sad when it retires in a few months. I may have to stock up on some of the cardstock before it does!
Such a gorgeous colour doesn't need much else to dress it up, so I stuck to a Pretty Peacock and Gold Foil combo. The feature panel is a piece from the Forever Gold Specialty Paper pack. I just popped it out, added a heap of Black Mini Dimensionals to the back, and layered it over my Subtle-embossed card front.
The sentiment, from Blossoms in Bloom, was heat embossed in gold and just layered over the top. Such a quick and easy card that really packs a punch. The hardest part was peeling all the backings off of the Dimensionals!
I used some left over Gold Foil, embossed cardstock and another foil element from the Forever Gold pack on the inside. Done!
Please head on over to Cathy's blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's Pretty Peacock cards. I can't wait to see what everyone has made!
Bye for now,
Tina
So simple but oh so stunning Tina - I really love this colour with gold too. Thank you for sharing your pretty peacock project with us tonight in the Colour Creations Showcase.
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking, elegant, colour combination, Tina! Beautiful work. I have seriously under-appreciated this beautiful colour, and feel very sad it's leaving the SU! range!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, elegant card Tina. The gold and Peacock are so divine together - and you're right, it doesn't need anymore.
ReplyDeleteWell this is simply STUNNING! So gorgeous and so elegant! I love it. I am going to miss this colour and your card is one of the reasons why!
ReplyDeleteA stunning elegant card done very well!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I adore gold and peacock together and this card is awesome, Tina. Such a beautiful and elegant combination of product.
ReplyDeleteSimply Stunning Tina!
ReplyDeleteA perfect match - Pretty Peacock and gold foil. Your card is so very elegant Tina. I must admit that I was late to the ball in terms of Pretty Peacock but it has certainly grown on me and I too will miss it as it works so well with lots of other colour combinations.
ReplyDeleteA simple but elegantly effective card Tina. Just lovely
ReplyDeleteSimply elegant, Tina. The richness of Pretty Peacock behind that lovely specialty gold foil layer is stunning - love it!
