Tropical Toucans w/ Distress Oxide Background

Aloha! Lindsay here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today. I’m so excited to be sharing a card I made using the Tropical Toucans Stamp Set along with the coordinating dies. 

To start, I began with a smooth cardstock and masked off an area for distress oxide ink blending. I first blended Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, and Peacock Feathers within the masked area. I then applied the Triangles Stencil over the ink blended area and blended another layer of Picked Raspberry on top of the ink blended area.

I then got to coloring the lovely Toucan images! I stamped all the images with a copic friendly ink and then proceeded to color all the images using my copic markers. I love adding details with a white gel pen to the critters as a final touch.

To stamp the sentiment, I got out my MISTI (I didn’t want to mess up my ink blended background!) and arranged the images and sentiment to where I wanted it and then stamped the sentiment with black ink. I adhered the images with foam tape for a little pop.

As with any card, you know I have to add some jewels! I added Watermelon Jewels and Caribbean Blue Jewels as a final touch.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and I hope you enjoyed this card!
