Peacock Masquerade

Well, it has to be said that I'm loving the new Spectrum Noir Blendable Pencils from Crafter's Companion! So whilst I wait for my other sets to arrive I've had a play with the Essentials set along with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

I have a few favourite colour combos, but I love peacock colours so this image, Peacock Masquerade from the fantastic Aurora Wings is just up my street. I coloured my mats and layers with my markers to ensure that the colours matched and teamed the image up with some peacock patterned paper from one of the older Graphic 45 collections - Olde Curiosity Shoppe, along with some gold mirror card.

In my stash I also had some peacock patterned ribbon, and added a feather and turquoise coloured gems to complete the look! The border on the back fold of the card was created using a Martha Stewart punch.

If you love colouring then you'll love these pencils. tune in to Create and Craft tomorrow from midday to see Leann Chivers demonstrate the pencils along with the new Scruffy Little Cat papercrafting collection.

Anyway, hope you like this card. I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

Polka Doodles - Something Old, Something New ( Old - Graphic 45 paper and punch. New - Image and pencils)
Sparkles Monthly Challenge - Favourite Colour Combo - (Blues and Greens)
As You Like It - Fur or Feathers (Feathers for me - as I love the elegance of feathers - and the ability to fly!)
Crafting For All Seasons - Lots of Layers
Tuesday Throwdown - Special lady

Best wishes and bye for now

    This is beautiful Karen, I'm a fan of turquoise too, one of my favourite combs for Christmas is turquoise and red. Love that image, it's really unusual and the peacock feather is a great touch. Thanks for playing along with us at Sparkles this month, pop back tomorrow for a new challenge.
