I used a base of Georgia Pacific white paper. All the dp is Webster's on basic black from SU. I stamped the peacock in Momento Black Tuxedo and colored it with copics and used Spica pens also. When I was done I used a Versa Mark pen and then added Perfect Pearls on the peacock so it would have that shine a peacock has. The stamp set is from Flourishes. I cut the peacock out using Nesties 14 and lightly added Pacific Point around the shape. I stamped my sentiment using SU Whisper White and Pacific Point. Added some blue bling. Made a double loop bow out of May's Art silk ribbon. I added a brad to it.
Clancy wanted Simone to have something extremely fancy. He told her Peacocks were quite elegant and no one else would have a peacock at their side. Simone Shivers is living her life in color!

Fabulous work - I love that stamp and you've made a truly gorgeous card with it. Clancy certainly gave Simone some great advice. Your brad detail is really beautiful, too.

I almost used that stamp because I liked the sentiment "Strut your Stuff" but mine wouldn't have looked that good. Great idea to use the perfect pearls.
