I was recently inspired by Kim Hughes' peacock card in PaperCrafts Magazine, and apparently peacocks are also HOT right now, hee! My first two attempts were with Big and Little Pieces from SU...I failed, so if anyone else wants to try that out go ahead!! I punched circles from Basic Grey Fruitcake paper intead!

Okay, okay, I get it! today's challenge was ever so perfect for you. Leave it to you to come up with something special. only problem I see is there's no doodads. Plus, if your sentiment is a stamp, I'd encourage you to send that back to the manufacturer: who ever would think to spell beautiful with 2 ll's! I dont miss a thing girl. BTW, this really is a darling card and so you and so primitive in nature.

Well aren't you creative. This is very unique and wonderful. I think peacocks are so unique. The colors they sport are amazing. This card is just that. Really great job. TFS

Oh my gosh - just love this. I didn't even have to look at the your inspiration card because I knew right away - I love it. It was one that I attempted but couldn't make it work. Lovely.
