Mel's Toucan Challenge

Mel believes that when she sets a challenge it should really be a challenge! Last week we had to make a "no layer" card which really set our brains working overtime. Funny how it was really hard to make such a simple card. This week she has given us this picture of a toucan to inspire us . The colours she drew from the picture were Handsome Hunter/Real Red/ YoYo yellow/Basic Black and Whisper White. Now I haven't used my Bold Brights Card stock much and I don't own any bold brights ink pads. First step was to get out cardstock for the required colours- YUCK!!! I hated them together!!! I decided that I would give this week a miss! But as I have told you before- I am a very stubborn stamper and I just did not want to be beaten by this challenge !! So I thought and thought and finally came up with an entry that I was happy with! It's a bit late for Keesh's love note challenge- and its probably a bit too simple- oh well it's the best I could do with what I had available. Scroll down to see my Swirly Toucan Love Note....

I too hated the colours together when I got them out and nearly didn't use them also. Love what you have done.

That certainly was a challenge if you weren't too keen on the colours! Like what you ended up with! Cheers, Sue
