It was odd when I read the title of this week's Daring Cardmakers challenge as for the past 2 weeks my little one has been learning about the life and work of Frida Kahlo in his Art lessons and I had been listening intently. Mexico always conjures up images of bright, bold colours which I love so you might need your sunglasses to see my creation today! Ha!!!
I didn't even know that toucans were native to Southern Mexico until Google told me - the power of Google!!! Of course I had the perfect stamp set in mind and I began by creating the background using my distress inks through a stencil.
My image was stamped, die cut and coloured with my Chamelon pens and I added glitter to the party hat and glossy accents to the beak.
You can see a lot more inspiration from my fellow DT HERE and I hope you will join in with this fun challenge!
It's an exciting week for me in the blog world next week with lots going on so watch this space!
Have a lovely weekend,
Shabneez
