When I saw this peacock die as a free gift with the latest 'Simply Cards and Papercraft' magazine.....the temptation to buy it was just too much.
The patterned paper was part of the free gift with a sister magazine, made to coordinate with the peacock die. The peacock is die cut using turquoise glitter card, matted and layered on a SB 'Picot Edge' and a MB 'Stitched Circle' die cut. The embossing folder is Creative Expressions 'Fantails'. The design is just like the feathers of a peacock when they are fanned out - perhaps that's why it's called Fantails! ;-)
As the peacock die is a NBUS die, I'll be popping over to Darnell's blog with my last NBUS entry. The challenge closes tomorrow, so you've still got time to enter.
I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:
Oh I love this Liz and the colours are gorgeous. A ovely embossing folder too. Barbxx

Love the way you've teamed it up with the embossing folder. I've got the die too (I subscribe to the mag) and you've inspired me to have a play with it late. Cara d
ReplyDeleteI can see why you couldn't resist!So awesome on your card..love those colors!
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous. All the patterns, embossing - really are so complimentary to the wonderful peacock. I am always so amazed at the 'freebies' that come with the UK magazines (of course I realize the magazines are probably a bit pricey). You really scored on this stuff though, because it's a stunner & perfect color choices too. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous,lovely colours and design.xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Liz another brilliant card for the Bizzy Bec Anything Goes Challenge, well done. Love the combinations used.
