Shake your tail feathers

........and what a display they would make. I love peacocks and the glorious colours in their feathers - although my Mum was very superstitious and wouldn't entertain having a peacocks feather in the house, something about the Evil-Eye I seem to recall.

Not sure what she'd have made of this card then:

The close-up above is the best piccie I could get to try and show the iridescence of using Twinkling H2Os - in real life it shimmers beautifully. 

I used:

- A6 white card stock

- image from the Stampendous set called 'Proud Peacock', coloured with Twinkling H2Os - ages since I used these cute little pots of solid paint and that needs to be rectified 'cos it was very relaxing just sitting quietly painting away in my own little world

- frame was embossed using Crafts Too's 'Scrollwork Frame' folder

- peacock blue Core'dinations backing card just to edge the frame

- sentiment is also from the 'Proud Peacock' stamp set, stamped using Memento 'Teal Zeal'. The set comes with three different sets of words and the scrolling frame is separate, also in the same set. Oh, and there's a single peacock feather and a row of three in the set too - so altogether quite a bit to play with..........unless you're superstitious of course :) 

And this is how I store the H2Os - in a shallow A4 sized Really Useful box with a  divided insert.
