RC Blog Hop - A Cheerful Hello

Hello! It's the 8th of the month, which means it's Reverse Confetti blog hop time *and* all the goodies we've been showcasing for the past few days are now available.  YAY! :)

To create my card, I started by first stamping a bunch of the images from Toucan of Friendship in Versafine ink, then heat embossing them with clear embossing powder.  Once they were all embossed, I then ran them through my big shot using the Toucan of Friendship Confetti Cuts.  Next, I colored all the images using Zig Clean Color watercolor markers and Ranger Distress Ink markers.  My Toucan looks a little crazy, but I modeled it after a Keel-billed Toucan, they are *gorgeous*! :)

While the images were drying, I stamped a light gray card base with the largest stripe from So Stripey in Versamark.  Once the images were dry, I arranged the shapes into a wreath shape, then adhered them to the card front with foam tape.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink onto aqua cardstock, then inserted into the wreath.  To finish up, I embellished with aqua rhinestones and gray enamel dots.

I hope you've enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of every month for more Reverse Confetti inspiration!
