Perfect Peacock Stampin' Up! Card

My niece Sarah loves Peacocks.  She even has a room dedicated to all her "Peacock" stuff.  I figure she will get a set of cards for Christmas this year...

I used gold embossing and a combination of blendabilities and markers on this card. At convention I saw a demonstration where she used the black memento ink and the blendabilities.  It was amazing!  Will try that technique tomorrow.

Beauty of the Season Stampin' Up! Card

My mom loves Cardinals and especially at Christmas.  When I saw this stamp set in the Holiday catalog, I squealed with delight.  I knew I just had to have it!  Made this card to do in class tomorrow... Ribbon or no ribbon..hmmmm.  I like them both.
