While I intended to give "Tiki" the full blown Halloween treatment I decided to highlight the image using a strictly black and white background and the colorful spotlight. Kind of like the B and W photos that have one element colorized.








This cute toucan comes from Paperworks Co.
Supplies used to create this card include:


Spellbinders frame and palm fronds
Copic airbrush and markers
Prismacolor pencils/Gamsol
Stickles
Black gems
Black fun fibers
Sizzix flourish die
Prima flowers


Thanks for taking a look and see you next week!

    Holly your work always intrigues me. I loe that you used a monochromatic color scheme for the background and embellishments and the bright tropical colors for the Toucan. It makes for a fabulous card. Love that marvelous glitter.
    Bear Hugs,

    I was so sure that I had been here to comment. Good thing I came back, since I was wrong. This is so FAB I am out of words! It is so amazing how you kept everything black and grey and then the parot just comes jumping out been bright sparkeling green! Love the junglelooking flowers and swirls. AMAZING card!

    Hugs

    Holly, sorry to be soooo late!! I've really gotten behind. I was finally able to upload my card yesterday. Whew!

    Only YOU could have come up with a creation as unique as this. Your image just pops off the black b/g. What an incredible risk with a huge payoff. FANTASTIC!!

    Now that is one creative card. I never would have in a million years thought of this combo. It is stunning. What a beauty. It's so neat because it is elegant and flamboyant. Perfect for Tiki!
