Cornish Heritage Farms Birthday Card

This week at Sew Many Challenges we are being sponsored by Cornish Heritage Farms. The owners Richard & Liz Pomeroy was so kind to give the SMC DT some stamps to work with. This is the one I was given to use... Peacock Scene Background. I stamped the image on light blue cardstock to use as my background and then again on white cardstock. I cut the peacock out of the image I stamped on white and then colored it in. Glued it to where the peacock is on the background piece and then added a little glitter to the wings and tail feathers.

Birthday Card

This is the 2nd card that I made for the "happy birthday daughter" card I was asked to make. This was the one that she picked out of the two cards. She said that her daughter's favorite flowers are sunflowers. And that was the reason she picked this one.

The challenge this week at Fab n Funky was to use something new. This image is a stamp that I picked up just a couple weeks ago and this was the first time that I have used it. The flower center is a corduroy brad that I received from a blog candy win and I've been holding onto it for just the right project. I am also entering this card into this week's challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ. The challenge was to use a peaceful image or a verse about peace. This was the most peaceful image that I own. So I knew that I had to use it for this challenge.
