This is my card in honor of our newly crowned Queen For The Day, Sabrina (Cook22). What an outstanding choice, Anne! Sabrina has a huge gallery full of gorgeous designs! She always has super creative takes on the challenges and she is so very encouraging with her comments! I thoroughly enjoyed browsing Sabrina's whole gallery, but I kept coming back to her beautiful peacock cards. I chose this one to CASE today: FTTC70 Blue Bird by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the basic layout and peacock theme the same, but changed the colors, the stamps, omitted the sentiment and added a bow.
I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored everything with Copic markers. I added some shimmer with Spica pens. A satin ribbon bow and some square gems finished it.
Congratulations, Sabrina, on the most well-deserved honor of being crowned Queen! Enjoy your reign!

What a lovely peacock that is, Carla - and I love your feathery background with the shading across each eye in each feather, and the hints of sparkle. And the little square gems are a great accent - they add a contrast to the rounder shapes in the feathers which I really like.
