I started with inking the background for this card. Its a simple two color blend using Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral. I love this combo together for a tropical sunset feeling. Its one of my favorite blends I use very often.
Next I took another peice of cardstock and die cut my center window to create a spotlight for my scene & sentiment. I stamped the sentiment directly on my ink blended panel in jet black ink. I stamped and die cut the images using the left over I cut out of the middle. I like trying to use up my scraps as I make them.
Lastly I did a bit of copic coloring for my bird and branch. The toucan is N10, N8, N6 for his body and the tip of his beak. I then used to shades of pink combos for the other sections on the beak; RV13, RV10 & RV00 as well as R20, R11, R00. I used these same pinks on the flowers. I though the bright pink and the peachy pink complimented the background which is why I chose them. I took some bright green for the leaves in YG17, YG23 & YG21. The branch itself is E44 & E43. And that's it! Makes a great encouragement card.
Thanks for stopping by!
I like your clean and simple design. This card really works!
