Tropical Toucan

     Today a new "Anything Goes" challenge is starting at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and we're sponsored by the fun and fabulous SheepSki Designs.  Andrea provided images for the DT to use for this challenge and I chose this one called "Tropical."

     It's cold enough today that I can wish I was somewhere tropical, chattering with a toucan, with a hibiscus flower in my hair.  :-D  No worry, spring will be here in another 24 hours and the temperatures will quickly rise, to a point beyond anyone's comfort zone and we'll all be wishing for the cooler, crispier temps of early fall.

     I colored the image with ProMarkers, then cut it with a die from Spellbinders.  I dry embossed a piece of spring green CS with my Linen EF (which I've used quite a lot this month), and mounted both of those onto the card front.  The sentiment is fussy cut and I hand-tied the large bow using 1" grosgrain ribbon.  Final touch - 3 sequins.

I used the colors from Cupcake Inspirations.

     Challenges:
Cutie Pie (B for Bird)

     Happy Crafting and we'd love to see you playing in our challenge this week.  NanaConnie
