FF Challenge #32 Chocolate & Teal


Hi Everyone!
This is my first time entering one of your challenges. I kept seeing your blinkie on some of the Blogs that I have visited.  But I have not been doing the card making thing that long.  So getting entries done by cutoff date takes me a little longer.  So I've slowley adding more challenges.  And when I saw what this weeks challeng was Chocolate & Teal it seemed like a perfect fit for this little cutie.  I fell in Love with Her when I saw her done by Melanie of  http://paperblessingsbymelanie.blogspot.com/ . The Peacock Feathers and one of the sentiments that comes with the Stamp reminded me of a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo that my husband & I took when he was home on leave. We had a encounter with a Don Juan Peacock . Let's put it this way the strangest things can scare a big bad Marine.  So now when ever my husband is starting to tell a story that I don't want told all I have to say is PEACOCK. That stops him dead in his tracks. Ok, I had better get to my entry.
Thank you for considering my entry. Have a good week.

Hair is done with Copics

I became obsessed with the feathers. While looking for pictures on Bling.com I learned way more this weekend about peacocks & their feathers that I wanted.
Feathers are done with Prismacolor Pencils
Gold stickles & then I went over them with Gelly Roll Stardust Clear pen

The roll on glitter pen accents the feathers but does not show up unless you get it in just the right light
The rest of the coloring I did using the Prismacolors
Pearl necklace is done with Signo roller ball pen white
Background done with chalk & Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Brass
Stick Pens are from Quixotic Papperie http://www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk/ Elaine has some cute things
Buttons are Bo Bunny
Papers are from DCUR  http://diecutsrus.com/ Claudia is a sweetheart
They are from the April Card Kit I think.
Ribbon is from Walmart
Well, I think that cover everything.  Thank You for considering my entry.
