 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Zoo Friends"
 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"You May Bow"
                                      

Today we are showcasing this cute set. 
 "Be a Showoff"
                                              This is what I created with this beautiful set...
I stamped and embossed the Peacock and sentiment with white embossing powder, added some satin black ribbon, punched a fun border and added some pink jewels.
 
On this card I stamped the pretty Peacock and feathers with SU ink added them in front of gold shimmer paper, embossed the background, added sequins, and ribbon.
 
I hope you enjoyed my cards today.  Be sure to visit all the team to see what they have created with this beautiful set...
  Have a fun day and happy hopping,
                                                                              Hugs

    Gorgeous cards, Jane. I love how you embossed the peacock in white on black and then carried out the pink/black/white color combo. The second card, I like the colors. You did a great job.

    I love the black, white and pink peacock card! It's gorgeous, Jane. Using white embossing powder on black paper is a great way to make an image pop.

    I like both cards and the versatility of colors. The pink one is so feminine and the other could be used as masculine. Nice work.
