A Watercolored Peacock

As much as I love all the new Occasions Catalog items, it is nice to dig back in my stash and show some love to a stamp set from the Annual Catalog.  And when I saw the color challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday, I knew exactly which stamp set would be getting some ink.  I decided to combine it with a flipped around version of the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  Here are both challenges:    

Here is my card:

I love that peacock!  When I saw all those colors, I knew I had to use it!  I used my Aqua Painters and had to channel my Inner Elsa and "Let It Go" when the colors ran together.  I am new to watercoloring, but I ended up liking it once I was done.  I was so happy to use that little strip of Silver Glimmer paper because it was a scrap and that along with the sequins gives it just the right mount of sparkle and shine!  The stamp comes from the Watercolor Wishes kit.  I always forget about that great stamp set but when I was looking for a small sentiment to fit that area, that was perfect!  Below you can find a shopping list.  Thanks for checking out my card!
