Enjoy Your New Home

Since my husband is a huge football fan and as there appears to be only two channels working on the television at the moment, I decided to do a bit of crafting and went straight for this cute toucan from Clearly Besotted.


I used a set called Some Birdie Loves You and picked out the toucan, turned him into a Rainbow Toucan who live in the tropics of Latin America and yes they really do have blue feet, pretty cool :)  I coloured all the images with alcohol pens and used the matching dies.  Behind the toucan are some very subtle clouds making him look like he's in the tree canopy.


The sentiment is from another Clearly Besotted set and I just thought it would make an unusual and fun 'New Home' card.
