Toucan talk...

Good Morning everyone

This is the 2nd card i made for my niece Kitty-Bea 6th birthday for my parents to give to her.  Ive made my 2nd attempt at a balcony fold card and used these fab toucan stamps from Funky fossil designs.

5x7" card base made up from white cardstock following this tutorial beccysplace.blogspot.com/tutorial-balcony-cards

I used an old 6x6 paper pad with all these green foliage papers and matted onto the panels.  I stamped the images onto white card, watercoloured with derwent inktense pencils, cut them out and then got arranging them onto the card.

I added touches of glitter glue to finish.  On taking the photos i realised id not put the sentiments on which i rectified but no time to new photos as had to deliver the card

Showing it from above with the different panels, it folds flat to go into an envelope

Just a close up on the vibrant toucans - this patterned paper is ideal to make them look like its the jungle


Items Used:
Funky Fossil designs 'toucan talk'
Kaisercraft paper pad 'botanica'
Derwent inktense pencils
Ranger stickles 'diamond'

Thank you for all your amazing comments on my wiper card.  Kitty-Bea loved this card just as much.  Emmax

Id love to enter the following
