Color Dare #343 Meets Sketch Saturday #565

There is a Love of Color challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare.  The challenge is to use at least 3 colors from the 6 listed.  I used Sugarplum patterned paper from Feels Like Home paper (recently retired from Close to My Heart), Sage Card Stock, Sapphire Card Stock, Sage Ink and Sapphire Ink.  I used a ruler and a Silver Metallic Marker to edge each of the papers and to color in the "eyes" of the Peacock feathers.  The stamps are Elegant Peacock from Close to My Heart.  My card is 5"W by 6.5"L.

Here is the wonderful Love of Color Palette that influenced my color choices.  

Color My Heart Color Dare challenges are open for 2 weeks and this one closes tomorrow evening.  Badge awards are given along with a randomly selected participant to receive a monthly prize.

Here is the fabulous Sketch Saturday sketch that inspired my card layout:
