Hey Everyone! I hope you've had a great week. It's finally Friday and the weekend is right here for us all to enjoy. Do you all have any plans? I'll be working on a few projects and of course some include stamping, recording videos, and photography too!

I decided to use some new stamps I purchased from W Plus 9 Design Studio. I really liked the peacock stamps and just had to have them. It's a form of a bird and you all should know how I feel about birds on my projects...I just gotta have 'em! So...here's the card I made. It's pretty simply, but that's a 'beautiful thing', right?!

Here are some extra details on the card...

Instructions

1. Trim rustic cream cardstock to about 4" x 5.25", then stamp background pattern.
2. Adhere doily to the left side and wrap the remaining part around the rustic cream cardstock (or cut it off to save the other end).
3. Stamp peacock on kraft cardstock with blue and green inks.
4. Cut peacock out, adhere swarovski crystals, then pop off doily.
5. Stamp sentiment on white cardstock and pop off cardstock.
6. Adhere altogether on ocean tides A2 card base.
