Beautiful Peacock Brusho Card for Club

Hello!  Today is a red letter day because I had THREE student bookings for online tutoring this morning.  When I went to bed I had two slots booked but woke up to a third booked!  Hooray!  I am now a VIPKID teacher and teach ESL (English as a second language) online now.  So much fun and the hours won't interfere with home schooling or stamping.  Can anyone say, "Having cake and eating it too?"  LOL!  Click here if you are interested.

I had to use the Peacock even though Sale-a-bration is almost over!  It looks stunning with the Brusho background.  I prepped this card with 11th grade English running in the background and heard a class recite "The Road Less Traveled"...in case you want ambiance for this post.  LOL!

I was a bit tired when I prepped this card today (too much Adrenalin to sleep) so I decided to change the  CS from Navy to Denim.  When I looked at this blog post for inspiration I realized that it had magically "changed" to agree with me!  Wow!  Am I amazing, or what?  <insert laughing emoji>

Stamps:  Beautiful Peacock (free during Sale-a-bration)
Colors:  Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide, Dapper Denim, Shimmery White (CS)
Supplies:  Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Linen thread, Brusho, spritzers

Happy stamping!

My adaptation for club

Wow!  I had so much fun the other day when we drove up to visit my downline, Shirley!  Initially I wanted to go be a blessing to her but she was such a blessing to me!  My daughter and I took up a light lunch to share and then I was able to participate in a bit of her club.  Before I left she loaded me up with a set of her other projects so that I could play with them at home.  What a sweetheart!  It was such a treat to stamp when I did not have to create them but could enjoy someone's creativity.  I will have more projects to post for later days and it triggered more creativity.  Love you, Shirley!

My take aways:

1. Definitely make time to create an instruction sheet for club projects because those sheets are so handy.
2. I am super glad that I just splurged on more of the auto collapsible trash bins for club/stamp camps.
3. I should always bring the photo holder for my cards.
4. Shirley is Ms. Organization and I could stand to reevaluate my stamping work space!  She even had someone recreate the storage units sold by a popular online storage store.

Happy stamping!

Directions:

·         Stamp the stems in Tranquil Tide.  Stamp the outline of the flower in Berry; stamp off and stamp the bold flower image over the outline.

·         Run the stamped CS through the Big Shot with the Brick folder.

·         Mount the White CS on top of the Berry CS.  Mount ribbon on top and then mount front onto white CS base.

·         Stamp the labels from the Label Me Pretty set onto White CS with Tranquil Tide ink.  Punch out the image with the label punch and then punch out another Berry Label.

·         Cut the Berry label horizontally and mount behind the white label so that the Berry “peaks” out behind the white one.
