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!

  5. 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.

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!
