"Beautiful Plumage"

Hello Everyone! It's a rainy Friday here in Wisconsin! But we really need the rain, so I guess it is okay! LOL! Awhile back, I was down at Let's Create helping Franki with some card designs for her card classes. This is my take on one of her cards. I think it turned out wonderful! I wanted to make sure to share it with all of you because this is another NEW line of stamps that she is carrying in the store. This stamp is by Our Craft Lounge, it comes in a set called "Proud As A Peacock"! (See The Set Below!) I thought this would make an awesome card because of all the beautiful colors! I hope you like it!
