This is the first card we made at my last Cookies & Cards class and it was a card I sent into a swap I participated in last month. For the swap I used the Old Olive foil and for the class I used the Pretty Peacock foil. (I ran out of Old Olive.) I still need to photograph the swap cards, we will see if they make it up on the blog.
When I saw how pretty the peacock was in this stamp set, I had to have it. I especially love it in the colors of the Noble Peacock Suite; Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive, and Pretty Peacock.
