This is a card I have made for the Graphicus Challenge this month, the theme is Teal and Brick. The teal cardstock and brick red pearl paper were from my stash, I printed a page from Peacock Summer Party CD and cut out the pattern for the left hand corner. I stamped the peacock from the Peacock Glory stamp set, coloured him in with Derwent Inktense pencils and lifted the colour with a water brush, then matted him onto a bit of silver mirri. Then I added a bit of sparkly pen here and there on his tail and some silver peel off corners and strips. The colour added to the background was Ranger Archival Teal and Distress Brick. I am not 100% sure what Teal is, it seems to be several shades of green or blue! So I hope this meets the criteria....

Stunning card Chris, gorgeous colours!!!! I am still thinking about this particular challenge, though I THINK I may actually have some brick and teal coloured paper, will have to check and see what I can come up with.
This is beautiful Chris, the colours are gorgeous. I must admit I'm struggling to come up with anything relating to home for the challenge.
Crikey! you are quick off the mark. It's lovely. I am afraid I am still in the dreaming stage on this.
Done dreaming! At last I've finished my entry.
That's beautiful Chris, thanks for entering the challenge.

Fab card, love how you lifted the colour on his body. You are showing some really good work using a lot of techniques on your blog. A pleasure to visit.
