Toucan Do It!

Hi everybody.  It is our 41st anniversary and I made hubby this card using a set by Lawn Fawn called Toucan Do It which I was lucky enough to win in a giveaway over at Marjan's Blog and I thought the toucans would make a fun card.  

I started by cutting a piece of blue card to fit a 6" square white card and decided to emboss a heart onto it using a Sweet Dixie die large enough to fit the toucans inside...not something I have done very often but it worked well.  I placed the first toucan and heat embossed using WOW Metallic Platinum Embossing Powder, and then masked it to place the branch it is perching on, and at the same time I placed the other flying toucan and the little hearts, and also the fun sentiment..all from the same set and also heat embossed with the Platinum EP.  I then ink blended around the card to frame the heart using Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink applied with a blending brush, and then to darken the edge Chipped Sapphire DI.  I attached this to the white card and then decided to add a die cut sentiment, and in order to match it to the other embossing I covered a piece of white card with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with two layers of the Platinum EP.  I also added a piece of Stick It Adhesive to the back before die cutting it, and then I attached it to the card as you can see just slightly overlapping the embossed heart.

Thank you for dropping by today and I'll see you again soon.

Congratuliations on your anniversary, Pat! So nice to see that you used the set I sent you for this fun card, what a good idea! You can see the love from the beak of the ( I suppose) lady toucan :) I read your hubby also has his birthday this month, just as mine. Another celebration!
