Hey there, hope all of you are well. I think I have turned the corner on my eye infection and am getting better every day. I still have not colored a focal image but will be trying very soon, fingers crossed! This is the last of my scheduled posts due to my eye, and as always, thank you to my Honey for greatly helping with the posts to keep things going. He's quite experienced at this by now! 😍
Today I have a guy birthday card to share using another pre-colored digi from The Paper Shelter called Tucan. I was able to color the die cuts, as it's not hard to stay in the lines with them, but baby steps!
I used the sketch at the current Moving Along with the Times challenge. I resized it in PSE to a 6x6 square.
Supplies Used:
The Paper Shelter Tucan Pre-Coloured Digi
Sizzix Tropical Thinlit Dies (palm tree, flowers, totem)
Gemini by Crafters Companion Torn Edge Oval Dies
Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type letter stickers
Viva Decor Orange Pearl Paint Pen
Promarkers to color die cuts
Echo Park Jungle designer papers
DCWV floral design paper (inside)
Brown and white card stock
Inside, I layered a sentiment I composed in PSE on blue floral paper mats.
And a final look. I think it looks so tropical using rich Autumnal colors, although I did stay away from purples and pinks since it's going to one of my many nephews.
With all the Autumn cardmaking going on right now, I thought I'd share this Autumn Color Palettes chart I found online at artist HilaryWinfield's website a while back. I've found it to be pretty handy and pretty to look at and be inspired by, too.
👀
I also have some food to share for Rain's Art & Dinner Date this week:
One night this week Honey made a thin-crust pizza using Rain's recipe for Thin-Crust Pizza Dough. He'd made a big batch last month and froze a few dough balls for future use. This is the second time we've eaten it and the crust is delish!

Honey also made an Arkansas Possum Pie using a recipe I found online. We used a prepared chocoalte graham cracker crust and no nuts for this one. I thought it was perfectly scrumptious, but Honey said he should have added more chocolate, lol.
Well, that's it for me. Hope you have a great Sunday! XOX
MY CHALLENGE PLAYLIST:
I think that a talking toucan with eyes like a stand-up comedian like Rodney Dangerfield is a fantasy!
Using die cuts is a favorite technique

What a great image...cute card!
Hi Aimeslee,
what a very colourful card and I love the images and your wonderful design.
such pretty elements used and those flowers are very gorgeous.
Snap I have had to give up colouring with Alcohol pens beacause of eye probs, but mine are permenant probs.
I also had to give up driving too as I can't read signs and glasses doesn't help.
Now I just use water colour pencils.
Thank you for joining the MAWTT Challenge .
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
