more color mondays – pretty peacock, old olive and basic beige

Today’s More Color Monday is a sneak peak of one of the prettiest suites in the upcoming September – December 2024 Mini Catalog debuting on September 4th in two days time in my opinion. This suite called the Season Of Elegance features stunning gold foiled Specialty Designer Series Paper which is only one star of the show in hues of Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Pretty Peacock, Basic Beige and Gold foil as well as two stamp and die bundles.
Today’s card is made with the Peaceful Evergreens Bundle and the gorgeous new Painted Trees 3D embossing folder.

Today’s color challenge features Pretty Peacock, Old Olive and Basic Beige for our More Color Monday card.

Measurements:
BASE: Pretty Peacock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scrap for tree dies and suede strip
Basic Beige layer (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″
Old Olive scraps for tree dies

Place one of the Basic Beige layers in the new Painted Trees 3D embossing folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.

Cut the large and small tree dies out of Old Olive and Pretty Peacock scraps.

Using the White Pearlized Enamel Effects apply the liquid onto the branch edges and allow to dry on the Old Olive trees.

I used to 1/4″ strip of Pretty Peacock like I detailed in a previous post on how to make Faux Suede paper and ran the paper between my thumb and a bone folder from one end of the strip to the other and turned it over and rubbed the other side doing this again and again until the paper begins to separate. The inside of the split paper is soft and resembles suede.
I adhered one side of this strip soft side up to the second plain Basic Beige layer and adhered a smaller Old Olive tree die on top of this strip.
Adhere the entire Basic Beige layer to the inside of the card.

I stamped the outside Wishing you and yours sentiment to the top left corner of the Basic Beige embossed layer.
Adhere to the card front and glue on the Pearlized Old Olive tree dies to the lower right hand side of the card.

I added three Adhesive-Backed Sequin Trio embellishments to the card front around the sentiment.

I decided that the card front needed a little more color so I added two Pretty Peacock tree dies to the card front to finish off the More Color Monday card!
