I love this peacock set from Hero Arts, but it's always a challenge to keep the peacocks from just floating. I'm going to try my shadow stamps next, I think. But for now, a fancy cut does the trick.
There are two types of glitter on the card: Stickles (in lime and turquoise on the bird) and Doodlebug loose glitter (on the ground, as it were). I attached the loose glitter with a 1.5" x 5.25" strip of Tack and Peel....sheets of adhesive you can cut to size, punch, or die cut. Very cool.
Happy Monday! And if you haven't played the OLW this week, jump on board!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Susan! I love your cutting job and all the glitter and bling. By the way, got the cuttlebug folders: thanks so much. I'm looking forward to using them now!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. I like how you stamped and cut that Peacock. It is a very good way of grounding him, and I never would have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteYou are too clever for words! Simply gorgeous card. Love the glittery ground.
ReplyDeleteVery creative and great job thinking "outside the box"!
ReplyDeleteThe fancy bottom cut with the glitter underneath is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the peacock - it's pure genius!
ReplyDeleteamazing, love it...if peacocks didn't freak me out, tis card would have just put this stamp set on my wish list
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card! I love the lime and turquoise stickles on the peacock and his cut-out tail.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I have some Tack 'N Peel (by Tsukineko) that is an adhesive cling sheet to use with acrylic blocks and unmounted stamps. Is this something different? I have other, thinner double sided adhesive sheets that I use for gitter like this.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the peacock. It makes a very interesting edge to the card. I love anything like this that moves a card from ordinary to special.
Very Cool!
