So Special Tropical Toucan

Happy Wednesday!

This week I have another card made with the Tropical Paradise Collection, this time using the beautiful toucan image from the Tropical Parrots Set.

I colored the toucan image with pencils and mineral spirits, so much fun coloring! After coloring it I cut it with the matching die and popped it onto the white mat that was embossed with a folder and a sentiment stamped on the bottom.

Here is a little close up of the image for you.

Tropical Cockatoo

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for me to share a little inspiration using Heartfelt Creations stamps, dies and designer papers! This week I have another card using the new Tropical Paradise Collection! Love this collection!

I used the cockatoo image along with a plumeria flower for the focal image. These were colored with pencils and mineral spirits and popped onto an oval shape with a sentiment stamped on it. The background mat is a card panel from the matching designer papers. I liked the way the oval shaped looked with the flowers in each corner.
