Pretty as a Peacock

I was going through a stack of patterned paper the other day and came across a peacock feather design. I'm not sure how long I've had this, but I figured it was time to use it.


I used purple, blue and teal to bring out the peacock colors. I used a stamp with a saying from William Butler Yeats, which I love. I then used a border punch and added ribbon and pearls. I attached the pearls with glue dots that I luckily found hiding in my pearl bag. I thought I was out, so I'm glad I found them!

I don't normally go this dark on cards, but I think it works with the theme.

Thanks
