Colors I used were: Harvest Gold, Scarlet Jewel, Simply Chartreuse & White. I've got a couple cards to share with you and both use one of the peacock images from Magical Moments. Anyways, here's my take...
Stamped the peacock in Scarlet Jewel and a sentiment (from the same set) in True Black into the corner of white cardstock, trimmed and attached to the Harvest Gold cardstock base. Wrapped the top of the card base with Harvest Gold satin ribbon.
Lastly, embellished the feathers with yellow and green rhinestones.This second card is my favorite of the two. Just something about the simplicity of a few bold colors on a white card base is so pleasing to me...
Thought these colors made a fabulous jewel toned Christmas color combo. Couldn't help but turn them into a simply stunning Christmas card. Stamped the top of a white card base (measuring 3 3/4" X 5 1/2") with a sentiment in Scarlet Jewel and wrapped with Scarlet Jewel satin ribbon.
The peacock was created by stamping the image onto the card base in Simply Chartreuse. Carefully inked up the image a second time in Scarlet Jewel and Lemon Tart and stamped it onto a scrap piece of white cardstock. Punched out the body and attached it to the card base with dimensional adhesive. Finished it off with clear rhinestones.
