Print in a laser printer the black frame with the Thank you words. It is suggested to use a heavier paper for the card. Cut the A4 page to a 10x7in and fold in half to form a 5x7in card. If you can adjust your printer, print directly on a 5x7in card.

 

Cover with the gold foil, put a blank paper sheet on top and place it through the foil applicator.

 

Stamp and emboss, first with the gold powder and then with the black one, using the feather Viva stamps.

 

Distress the edges of the card with the black ink.

 

Add a little magnet on the front right side, where the metallic peacock will be set.

 

Add a little detail with the feather stamp inside the card if you desire.

 

Fold in half 14cm long cutting of the 38mm wide grosgrain ribbon and glue.

 

Create a bow by squeezing in the middle of it the top and bottom edges. Glue 2 x 5cm long cutting of the 9mm ribbon to the back of the bow. Cut a 15cm long piece of the rhinestone mesh and glue in the center.

 

For the Peacock charm, cut 4-5cm long brass wires. Using the the jewellery glue, set the flowers and the pearls on the wires.

 

Wrap some copper wire to hold the wires used for the flowers.  Alternatively, you can directly glue them on the back of the peacock charm. Bend and form the wires.

 

Glue them now at the back of the charm.

 

Glue the bow on the card, just below the magnet and secure the charm on it.
