Sparkly Rock and Roll Peacock from the Very Thankful Stamp Set

March 17th, 2010

Hello Stampers!  I love how this card came out.  I will be bringing this for a make and take to my downline event tomorrow, Taste of Stamping (although we’ll be doing it in blue with the markers and shimmer paint from this post). 

Have you thought about becoming a demonstrator?  If you are in the Raleigh-Durham area, join me Thursday night to stamp and have fun with my local group, or join me for Stamps and Chocolate on March 29th to learn more.  You can also read all the need-to-know info about becoming a demo here.  The special on the starter kit ENDS on March 31.

l started by inking the oh, so beautiful peacock in Sahara Sand Ink.  Then, I rolled it in So Saffron, then in Melon Mambo.  Next, I used the circle scissors plus to cut out my circles.

View the video to see how this card came together (I also couldn’t resist spraying Shimmer Paint all over the card when I was done…not shown in the video.  Add a couple drops of Shimmer Paint to a small spray bottle full of rubbing alchol to make your own Glimmer Mist!).
