Roses and Peacocks

Seem to have made quite a few roses this week!  These are punched from metallic purple paper from a paperpack from Poundland.  The weight and texture is perfect for moulding the petals and I am very pleased with how they turned out.  My backing paper is from Peacock Summer Party CD by Artylicious.  As the gorgeous peacock feather swirl is so big, my card approximately measures 8 x 8 as I wanted to make it one of the main features.  The sentiment  from Elusive Images is embossed in Rich Razzleberry Moonglow EP and mounted onto a nestie oval.  This is going to be a 'posh' birthday card for somebody special and I suppose I shall have to make a box for it next!
I should like to enter this card for two challenges

    Hi Janet, great to see you joining us again.
    A stunning card, your roses are fab.
    I nearly chose this design for my DT card, great minds think alike. Love the sentiment too.

    Beautiful card. Love the peacock feather (I have some in a vase in my living room leftovers from my dh's fly-tying!). And those roses are just perfect. I have been practicing and have put a couple on my blog, with a link to your blog. They aren't great, but they are getting better.

    Hi Janet. A beautiful card. I know what you meant by wanting to show as much of the design as possible. That's why mine ended up as a picture instead of a card. Your roses are scrumptious.
