Hello!!! I have one more card for the current Reverse Confetti Sketch for You to Try, as well as another entry for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of layering. I don't have a lot of critter stamp sets, but when I saw the RC Toucan of Friendship set I just had to have it. Love those fun little toucans. I looked up images of toucans online and colored mine in a way similar to one of those images using Derwent watercolor pencils on Canson watercolor paper. I still have a way to go with my coloring, but I think I'm making small improvements as I go along. After coloring up the birds and foliage and letting them dry I die cut everything with their matching dies. A piece of Canson watercolor paper was scribbled with a light blue ZIG marker and then blended out with water. Once that was dry I die cut it with an AJVD circle die. Black cardstock was die cut with the RC Tall Stripe Panel die and adhered to a white cardstock base. Then I layered on the die cut circle, the birds and the foliage. Finished up by embossing the sentiment in black on a piece of vellum that I trimmed down and adhered with glue dots.
Have a wonderful day!!
Supplies: Cardstock: MFT white, PTI black; Stamps and dies: Reverse Confetti; Inks: VersaFine Onyx Black; Watercolor Medium: Derwent watercolor pencils
