Tropical Toucan ~ Dies R Us ~ Use Bright Colors

*This is a pre-scheduled post*
It's the first of the month so that means it's time for a new challenge over at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  This week the theme is "Bright Colors".  So fun!  

 I wanted to create a brightly colored bird and this Toucan from Dee's Distinctively Dies was just perfect!  I cut the bird out of white cardstock and used Distress Inks to color him up.  I used Copics on his beak.


I did the same process of cutting and coloring on the leaves using Dee's Distinctively Dies Trio Tropical Leaves as I did on the toucan.  Some pretty patterned paper from Echo Park "Summer Fun" was used in the background that I cut using Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Circles

You can find all the details and join in on the fun here.  
The winner will receive a gift card to Dies R Us. 


Thanks for stopping by!
