Instructions:
Cut Deluxe Flower Shaping paper to 7 1/2 x 4 1/2" size, score and fold at 7". Cut another piece of the cardstock to 7 x 4 1/2" and attach to the inside of the 1/2" fold to create card base. Using from the HCD1-7452 Ornate Window Die, cut the solid window opening from the front center of card as shown. Stamp the small peacock from HCPC-31015 Peacock & Posies Cling Stamp Set in Cactus Flower ink onto scrap paper, then onto bottom right of card. Repeat this step for the top left corner of card.
Stamp the ornate window from HCPC-31016 Ornate Window Cling Stamp Set in Garden Patina ink and then Manganese Blue on some areas of stamp and onto Flower Shaping paper. Stamp this image a total of 6 times. Clean the stamp. Stamp the window 2x with white pigment ink onto patterned paper (sheet 5B) from the Ornate Peacock paper collection and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Use the coordinating die to diecut the windows. You’ll need 4 of the outer blue stamped window frame and 2 of the ornate window header. You’ll need the window frame only of the patterned blue ones. Diecut 2 of the solid window opening from top right panel of sheet 9A from the paper collection.
Stamp the small peacock from HCPC-31015 Peacock & Posies Cling Stamp Set in Garden Patina ink and then Cactus Flower onto some areas of stamp and onto Flower Shaping paper. Stamp the large peacock from HCPC-31014 Ornate Peacock Cling Stamp Set in the same ink onto the paper. Clean the peacock stamp. Stamp the peacock and posy spray from HCPC-31015 Peacock & Posies Cling Stamp Set onto vellum in white pigment ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Use coordinating dies to diecut the images.
Sponge the edges of card with Cactus Flower ink and then go over the same with Pink Peony. Lightly sponge the Garden Patina around the bottom right of card in the area that will surround the window. Add a touch of the Vivid Chartreuse next to it as well. Repeat this for the top left of card. Randomly sponge 2 of the blue window frames and header with white pigment ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. For dimension, layer 1 of the blue embossed frames on top of the other blue non-embossed one. Repeat this with the other 2 blue frames. Sponge the edges of window frames with Garden Patina ink and same for the top of header. Add a touch of the Vivid Chartreuse in the body of window header and frame. For the patterned blue window, sponge the edges with Garden Patina ink. Sponge the peacocks, using the Garden Patina on body with touch of Vivid Chartreuse and Sunflower ink for the beak. Use Cactus Flower and Sunflower on the florals as well and Garden Patina and Vivid Chartreuse. Use the same colors for the vellum florals.
Attach the window headers at the top of each window frame. Layer the 2 blue window frames on top of each other as shown with the ornate headers pointing in opposite directions. Cut apart the patterned blue window frames at an angle, then layer underneath the blue dimensional window frame so that it’s slightly offset. Dab some of the Dries Clear glue onto a yellow sponge and onto top left and bottom right of card, then sprinkle with Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear glitter and tap off. Attach the window frame in place on the card. Attach the solid blue window on the inside of card. Stamp the ‘For my Friend’ sentiment onto the solid window on inside of card. Trim off some end sections of both the peacocks to make them smaller. Shape the peacock and florals using the shaping stylus from the Deluxe Flower shaping kit. Attach these onto card as shown.
