I've used the gorgeous Moments Remembered set today. I think that peacock is just so beautiful! I wanted to show off all the detail by heat embossing on vellum and fussy cutting. The sentiment is embossed on vellum cut with a die from the Banner Bundle set. I embellished with some glitter cardstock, a metallic doily and enamel dots.
Here's a closer look at the gorgeous peacock image!
I paper pieced under part of the wing for a pop of color.
Inside I used one of the feather images - so pretty!
