K1-1165 - Perfect Paradise / Uniko-Intro (2-I)

In my card I used the "Sentiments Outline" set (we introduced it yesterday) again (it's so versatile!).

K1-1165 - Perfect Paradise

For the background stamping I masked the front of my cardbase with some painters tape. I put the big background stamp in my Stamping Tool and inked it up with both shades of green ink in one step, the center with the light green and the edges with the darker one. 
The stamping tool allowes to repeat the stamping if the colour spreading wouldn't be like it was planned. A great little help just in case you need it!

The leaves were stamped with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with clear Embossing Powder on green cardstock, then fussycut out. The big leaves of the Monstera Plant look the same, with a kind of smooth and waxy surface with a soft gloss. They were adhered on the card with tape runner.

The Toucan is coloured with Copic Markers, its beak covered with a layer of Glossy Accents. I adhered the body on the card with tape runner and the beak with thin 1 mm 3D pads for an outstanding effect.

The last object I created was the sentiment. I stamped it with Versamark Ink and used two different colours of Embossing Powder. To avoid a mix of the powders in my boxes, I first melted one colour, stamped with VersaMark again and added the second colour (again I used my Stamping Tool to get the exact same spot for the stamping). After I cut it and rounded the corners I adhered it in the front with 2 mm 3D pads.

Toco Toucan (Ramphastos toco)

I hadn't time to go to the zoo these days, so I searched online for pictures of Toucan birds. This one I liked and tried to catch it with my colouration.
