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
GUEST DESIGNER for FEBRUARY.
***
See you there
