Cute Peacock Card

Good evening! I have a quick post to share this Cute Peacock Card. The peacock digital image is from Doodle Pantry. It came pre-colored and I used the coordinating digital paper. The layout is from this weeks sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches. My crafty friend, Jessi Fogan at OneCraftyMama designed the sketch. The only change I made was to the twine area. My image is on the larger side so I had to make room for the three gemstones. I love the bright colors in this cute peacock and I intentionally didn't use a sentiment to keep my options open. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

My Cute Peacock Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Tuesday Morning Sketches: Sketch
• 4 Crafty Chicks: Anything Goes
• The Crafter's Cafe: Use a Digi

Friend to Friend Peacock Card

Good afternoon! This morning I woke up unusually early and I headed straight for my craft room. I found a color challenge at Craftin Desert Diva's that practically screamed at me to use The World Treasures Peacock stamp. Can you believe I've had this stamp for a couple of months and this was the first time I've used it? It really made a beautiful heat embossed image. I was brave and carefully mixed three colors of embossing powder. Then I picked papers to tie the colors together. The design comes from the sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday and the embossing works perfectly for the LEJ Designs Emboss It challenge . This Friend to Friend Peacock Card is also entered into the Addicted to Stamps and More Anything Goes challenge. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!
