toucan do it!

today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

I just love the sketch for this latest challenge, and so I had a blast making this card with that in mind!

so fun!
I used the adorable Toucan Do It stamp set for most of the images! they were all colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and the die cut out with the coordinating dies! the leaves were actually from the Critters in the Jungle stamp set!
I sprinkled the leaves around to mimic the circles in the sketch!

for the background, I masked off both sides, and used Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Inks to create the color! then I placed the Tropical Leaves Background Stencils and the same colors, but with more pressure to create the subtle tone-on-tone colors!

I love the pops of red with the flowers!
I heat embossed the sentiment in white inside the ink blended area, and it's a perfect pop!

be sure to play along with the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge this week, too!
enjoy!
