I just love this card. I do think Pretty Peacock is a perfect fall color, so I'm not surprised. It just pairs so nicely with almost any other autumn color I can think of.
I started the cards I'm going to be sharing this week by smooshing a watercolor background on a 4-1/4" X 5-1/2" piece of vanilla cardstock. I took my Golden Glow, Pretty Peacock and Blackberry ink pads and tapped them onto the huge "F" acrylic block. Then I sprayed the block with water and tipped the block to let the colors mix a little. Not a lot. I didn't want the colors to become mud. Then, I took a piece of 4-1/4" X 5-1/2" Very Vanilla Cardstock and layed it over the ink and let it soak it up. I am impatient, so I used a heat tool to dry it.
After the watercolor cardstock was dry, I used the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies, Copper Stampin' Foil and the Stampin' Hot Foil System to make copper watercolor leaves. I was then left with a piece of copper foil that had leaf images in it, so I applied that to a piece of vanilla cardstock with the Reverse Foil Die so that I could have both the positive and the negative copper leaf images and not waste the beautiful foil.
