I immediately thought of the fabulous Kimono range from Crafters' Companion for my card. This has to be one of my all-time favourite ranges.
I started by embossing some core-dinations cardstock using one of the embossing folders from the Kimono range. I printed out the topper and butterflies onto some super smooth paper and added these using foam pads for extra dimension. I die cut the sentiment twice from co-ordinating card and off-set them slightly for a shadow effect. The beautiful peacock die is also from the Kimono range. I die-cut it from white card and then added two different embossing powders, picking out colours from the topper.
Thanks for visiting my blog today. Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the lovely inspiration from the design team.

This is a very pretty colour palette Jo. I love how you've combined and co ordinated everything. Thank you for sharing your card with us at CD Sunday Wynn DT
Hi Jo. A fantastic card and I know Jane will be thrilled with your interpretation of her theme. I love that you coloured the Peacock with embossing powders. I wouldn't have thought of that.
Thank you for your continued support and for your visits to our own Blogs.

I only have the CD rom from the Kimono range but I love the colours used in it. I like how you've cut away the circle to show the young women behind it and I love your little peacock. Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog and for continuing to support the challenge.
