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!

Want to win some shiny new Verve? We're giving away a $40 gift voucher to one lucky commenter along the hop, so be sure to leave a shout out in the comments as you hop about.
