Peacock Butterfly

Today’s card features my favorite new In Color: Pretty Peacock. I though I really love Tranquil Tide that just retired, but this color is even better. It has more blue than green and is such a great deep color! I applied ink to a piece of white cardstock using a brayer to create my background for my embossed butterfly. I love how the gold powder sorta stuck to the inside of the butterfly to create an interesting texture. From there, I cut out a corner of DSP to create a base and then added a sentiment and some gems.

Mosaic Scene

I finally pulled out all my new cardmaking goodies and got creative! I started with the Mosaic Mood DSP pack that I got from OnStage. In looking at the new catalog, I knew that I had to have this entire suite! I love the images and the color combination! For today’s card, I created a little scene featuring one of the mosaic humming birds and some nice decor. My favorite part is the strip of DSP on the bottom.
