Toucan CAS(E) this Sketch

Hi there.  I'm glad you stopped by!

When I saw the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch...

I immediately thought of my NBUS Toucan Bundle.

I just happened to have a stenciled background sitting on my desk.

It seemed they were made for each other and the challenge too.

I stamped the body, then die cut the bird.  The die cuts the whole bird.

I place the cut into my MISTI and positioned the stamp for the large part of the 

beak, and colored it with Distress Markers.  Then I did the same for the end

of the beak.  It took a couple tries to get the beak somewhat right.

The first one fit well behind to give this guy a little more heft.

This looks like a card for Jack so I attached the toucan with a Wobble.

While I was at it, I did another.

For this card, I used a background from my stash that was done with Brushos 

sprinkled andspritzed on a gelli plate.. (I'm glad I wrote on the back how I'd done it.)  

I added some subtle stamping over the background and a die cut of tropical looking leaves.
