Peacock Dance...

Genius and virtue are to be more often found clothed in gray than in peacock bright. -Van Wyck Brooks
This week's Blogger's Challenge is Blue, Green and Brown and as I was thinking of what to do I looked around at some other challenges. When I saw That Anyone For Anya had the same colors I knew I was going to use a TGF image...but which one? Then I stopped by the Etsy Inspired Challenge and clicked over to the Etsy store that is featured this week and saw an Amazing Peacock Feather Headdress! At my friends wedding reception last weekend I got a Gorgeous Peacock feather and I knew I was on the right track! What image goes better with a peacock feather than Wild Sprout Savannah?!?!?!
The floral paper is from Webster's Pages and I cut just a small strip for the inside, the sentiment is from Verve's Fairy Tales set...
Supplies:
Stamps: WS Savannah (The Greeting Farm,) Fairy Tales (Verve)
Paper: Garden Gala (Webster's Pages,) New Leaf, Enchanted Evening (PTI,) Felt (MFT)
Ink: Copic Markers, Memento Black, Blue Bayou (SU,) White Gel Pen
Misc: Stickles, Peacock Feather, Prima Flowers, Pearls, Twill Ribbon, Button, Scrapper's Floss, Nestie Oval and Scallop Oval
