I wasn't even planning on doing another card before I got the brushed embroidery tutorial up (yes, I promise that I really am working on it!). It is my sincere hope to get that done, blogged and published tomorrow! Fingers crossed!
I happen to come across a new color of embossing powder that I never noticed before that's called Tourmaline. It's a opalescent turquoise color. I fell in love with the color and immediately thought of a peacock feather stamp that I had seen before and just knew it would look amazing! Well after two hours, and a bunch of scrapped ideas later; this card is the result! I'm not normally a gold person, but it has definitely grown on me now that it is becoming more of a trend.

This card uses a Kraft base, gold vellum for matting and another piece of kraft cardstock. Simply use gold acrylic paint that is watered down to get consistency that isn't too thick to lightly brush on but not so much where it is too opaque.
The rest of the card is pretty self explanatory except for maybe the multicolored feather. To get this look; I stamped the image with Versamark then poured my first color of embossing powder on certain areas of the feather and shook off excess carefully as to not get it on the bare parts. This powder can be put back and reused but the second color cannot be, as it may include some of the first color. Next, pour your second color over the remaining bare parts. Use sparingly as you cannot pour it back into its container.
I've been wondering if this technique would actually work for a couple weeks and it looks great! I love it when plan comes together, don't you?
The butterfly is punched with a multi-punch....three different punches in one. That's it! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
So don't forget to check back the next couple of days for the brushed embroidery tutorial. OR, you could like Paperberry Lane on Facebook to stay current on all the happenings and get updates right at your fingertips!
