I really like the colour scheme that happened when I made this card! I like to check pictures when I'm colouring a 'real' thing like this peacock feather and noticed that there can be a mustard or caramel coloured bit on them. I love the effect with the Pacific Point and Garden Green. Here's a close- up of that gorgeous feather...
... and you might also notice that gorgeous Basic Grey textured card stock - I love this stuff! I added a strip of More Mustard card stock to tie in with the mustard bits in the stamping.
Here's my sentiment! I used my stamp-a-majig to put various parts of four different stamps together to make this message. Do you like how 'handwritten' it looks? Some of the fonts already looked quite scribbled so I wrote over the others to make them look less 'printed'. I wanted a little swirl at the end and was SO happy to discover this one in the Petite Pairs sentiment set!

My youngest son sometimes makes me a cup of coffee if he thinks of it - he's just done it now! I didn't get any biscuits on this occasion but, as he placed the cup in front of me, he said: "Mummy - what do you call a man who likes a biscuit with his tea?" I told him I didn't know and he gave me a grin. "Duncan!" he said triumphantly. Where does he get his jokes?!!
Talking of jokes, I'm in a punning mood tomorrow! Hope you can come and join me!
