It's MY TURN to HOST at Just us Girls

Welcome to my FIRST posting as part of the
FABULOUS TEAM at JUST US GIRLS

I chose for you a COLOUR CHALLENGE.

 
I loved these colours and thought it perfect
for the card I made for your Inspiration below.
 

 

I had to make this 'SPECIAL'

because the beautiful peacock die was given to me

by my best friend for my birthday so I will be sending

it on to her as a 'THANK YOU'

***

Now where do I start?

The peacock is cut from the Peacock Tattered Lace Die.

I then traced the cut out piece to

use as my backing. I then heat embossed it randomly

with Zing Aqua and Purple embossing powder

which gave it a lovely sheen

Sponged Tim Holts Peacock Feathers

and Seedless Preserves on the feathers.

Designer Paper is from Sugar & Spice Spring Garden collection.

How lucky was I that it included peacock feather paper?

I spritzed the mat behind the popped peacock

with a Tom Bow marker

The sentiment is from Gina K - Assorted Greetings

Added a Kaisercraft Sea Breeze Sparklet

 to the flower and leaves

which are from Marianne Designs & MS punch

 

I think that's about it. Finally finished this card after having

several peacock cut outs in various papers/colours for some time

just waiting for me to play with them.

Really happy with how it turned out and I know

my crafty friend will  be too.

 

I am really looking forward to seeing how my colours

inspired you by entering in our

Colour Challenge over at

and be sure to check out what our Guest LeeAnn

and the other Designer's made also.

If you are our Chic of the Week you are in the running for
