Just Beakause



     This card is driven by two challenges. One is the sketch you see below and the other is for Stamp TV's Monthly Mix. The mix for this month is wings with optional gold.
Sketch #16 by Lisa Hidy
     This toucan has a history. When I color an image for a card, I almost always color an extra. Two years ago, I made a Noah's Ark Circle Step Card with a toucan instead of a seagull. As usual I made an extra toucan. A few days ago my husband handed this toucan to me and said that he found it on the floor. Hmmmmm . . . I decided to use him for my "wing" requirement. He comes from a Beth Salaika stamp set called "Xavier Zebra". This wonderful toucan did not get top billing.


     Inside the card, I used the same patterned paper and leaf vine stamp from the front of the card. I have been working on a data base for my dies and stamps (and soon to add embossing folders and stencils). I was able to put in a search for "it's your birthday" and Gina K's "Happy Spring" stamp set came up. Even though it is not yet complete, I have used this data base several times to determine if I already own a stamp or die or to locate one in my craft room.
