I’ve been wanting to play with these super detailed fun SW Peacock Collecti0on Dies for a while now and finally had the chance! Yay!

I include fun tips to try with all of my uploads. Here are some TIPS;

TIP 1; Snip the die-cuts throughout the design for giving the cuts new varied looks. I've also layered and bent mine (with tweezers), for some eye-catching added dimension.

TIP 2: Create your own sparkly “Wink of Stella” iridescent shimmer medium. 

(Simply mix an iridescent liquid medium with tiny sprays of water and a tiny pinch of a glimmer powder, like the ones available from a dollar store makeup section). I brushed this new shimmery mix over my various cuts. Its makes them super sparkly and look SO pretty IRL. This trick will save me lots of $$$ since I can add this shimmery mix to anything. It dries very quickly too. Options: This mix can be combined and mixed with liquid inks or powders or paints to achieve new super shimmery colors. Done very easily and it’s a tip I hope you’ll try out. You’ll love it too. I’m totally obsessed. 😉

TIP 3; Stack your die-cut sentiments. It gives them dimension and they stand-out. The stacked sentiment here is backed by vellum and placed over multi-layered and bent feathers at each end to continue the look. A pearl brad was put through the center flower (that I created with the same dies by trimming inner pattern parts). Pearls were added throughout as a finishing touch. Here are the SW dies
