Inspired Toucan Card

Where do you get your inspiration? I find inspiration in so many places - catalogues and ads, fabrics (and quilts!) and of course Instagram. The other day I came across an ad for this puzzle on IG:

I focused on the toucans and the jungle feel, as well as the colours - black, greens and pinks and pops of white.

I used a number of different Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets.

I started by stamping the toucans and then I masked them. I added the cluster of flowers from Geraniumd and then masked them. I used some leaves from Peonies (and you guessed it, masked them!) and some leaves from Hibiscus Flowers. I filled in space with a little flower from Tropical Toucans.

Then I coloured. And coloured! I finished with some white gel pen highlights. 

I added a sentiment from Every Day Sentiments on one of the Stitched Essentials 1 tag dies. 

 I know the scale of the various elements isn't quite right, but I love the feeling of fantasy from this!
