AAA Birthday Challenge #36 - Critters

Happy Monday!

I'm here today to tell you all about the April challenge at AAA Birthday. We challenge you to create a birthday card filled with critters.

For my card I first stamped the toucans from Newton's Nook with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
I used Copic markers to color them.

Then I stamped to floral background from Poppy Stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and also colored it with Copic markers.

I used a pierced circle frame from MFT to cut out a white circle and used a slightly bigger circle for the floral background and glued them together.

Next I blended Twisted Citron distress oxide ink and Just Green Altenew ink to create the background with the Tropical Leaves stencil from Newton's Nook.

I stamped the sentiment with Versamark on a strip of black cardstock and heat set it with white embossing powder. I adhered it on top of the leaves background and on top of this I adhered the circle with foam tape to create some dimension.
Finally I added the toucans also with foam tape.
