Rich, luxurious colors and a plume that amazes. My niece lives in New Orleans and watching her post about her adventures with today's Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras I couldn't help but love the exotic colors, clothes, headdress and more.. one of my favorite birds and the most exotic is the Peacock. With our 365 Reasons to Celebrate - see how this is my nod to celebrate today.

~ Cover the Elegant Eggplant card stock (3-3/4" x 5") with the Embossing Buddy.

*The great thing about this stamp set is that you can have layers of wild feathers..
**My kids call Heat Embossing MAGIC.. because the dull green like powder melts into liquid gold.. beautifully!
~ Die-Cut the Celebrate Amazing You thinlits in the Gold Glimmer paper on the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and Magnetic Platform. Apply with Rolled Glue Dots to the card. I found that the Celebrate was a bit toooo big so I left it off of the card front.

My Jr. Photographer (actually my youngest daughter) wanted to help mom.. so she actually took this photo!
Tool Tip: A Rolled Glue Dot is a great adhesive! Glue dots are so very strong and rolling them holds thin die-cut images like this..

Keep it in the family.... my girls (and even my son) are part of my family business. They are my die-cutters, stampers, heat setters and now my youngest thought she should join the team of my photographer. I just had to share.... this is my Mom Pride kind of moment.

I will be CASE'g this since I have all the requisite items, except for the purple cardstock. I'm one of the few women I know who does not prefer pinks and purples over just about any other color. ☺ Give me greens, blues, reds, oranges, neutrals like kraft, etc. and I'm a happy girl. Another plus is that I love-love-love heat embossing. Isn't that what hooked a lot of us into this fun and addictive art form in the first place? ♥
