P is for Peacock

The Alphabet Challenge is currently up to the letter P, and the challenge is P is for Peacock, Pelican or other bird (presumably starting with P). I've got lots of peacock themed stash, so it's right up my street!

I decided to make a covered notebook, using papers from a Graphic 45 Artisan Style pad, some matching stickers, and the excellent tutorial over at Dots, Dashes, Doodles and Dreams. The peacock panel from the pad is perfectly sized for the notebook cover, and I added extra depth to it by fussy cutting the peacock from a second panel and sticking it over the first, using lots and lots of 3D adhesive so it won't get damaged with handling. A notebook is sure to get more handling than a card.

I just love Graphic 45 papers - they look and feel too beautiful to cut into, yet they give such gorgeous results you are always glad that you did!
