Tucan Card





















And speaking of over sized cards, here's one that took on a life of its own. All stamps are by Art Impressions. The bird was embossed with black embossing powder and colored in with water based markers. Using a blending pen, the colors were added to the bird. The bird was then cut and mounted onto black paper and cut out again. It was placed on top of white paper that had a solid leaf stamped in several colors over the paper. Two leaves were also cut out and mounted under the bird with foam tape. One each side of the bird on the red paper, a strip of red tape was laid vertically. The squares of green paper were randomly placed going down each strip. Then black embossing powder was poured over the tape and heat set. This gave the image sort of a mosaic look. Once again, an extra large envelope would be needed to mail this card.
