Our thirty seventh colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "pretty peacock" from the 2019 - 2021 in colour collection. I have chosen pretty peacock, flirty flamingo and daffodil delight from the colour coach to work with today for my creation and I have also added in granny apple green.
I have made a striped background using strips of cardstock (in various widths) and adhesive sheets to hold the strips in place. I used the stitched so sweetly dies and happy dies to decorate the card front along with the you are amazing stamp set. A quick and simple card front yet it's bold and fun!
Inside card - I used the approaching perfecting stamp set stamped in memento ink

Ros at first glance I thought this was one of the card bases from "Oh so Happy" card kit - your homemade strip background just looks so fabulous! Thank you for sharing your pretty peacock project with us tonight in the Colour Creations Showcase.

When I started reading your post, I was sincerely hoping you were going to use the first colour combo . . . but then I scrolled down and OMG!!! I am so glad you used this combo! IT is absolutely fantabulous! I really love, love, love your card Ros!

I never would have ventured to use these colours together, but you have worked your magic with them, Ros! Wow! I love how you sponged the edges of each strip, and just love how bright, happy, and playful your card design is.

Ros, I love your bright happy cards, I am always a bit afraid I would get them all wrong but you never do, they just work. You are so good at them. Love your card!

Great colour choices Ros. I also love the depth you were able to add to your 'simple' strips of cardstock by sponging the edges. Your clever background really helps to highlight the wonderful large greeting.
