Big congrats to Diane, this week's featured stamper. I chose her Psychedelic Penguin (Psychedelic Penguin by HappyinMarco at Splitcoaststampers) to CASE but made him a psychedelic parrot instead. I switched out her beautiful beige shaving cream background for Distress Oxides in greens that were then flicked with a waterbrush for a bit of spatter. Except I started blending on the wrong paper (usually I use Bristol Smooth), so the ink got a bit splotchy in places. I added the leaves to camouflage. And then a sentiment to fill the space. Thanks for looking and hope you have a psychedelic rainbow kind of day!

How beautiful, Leah! Love your rainbow of colors & your macaw is gorgeous! Looks like a greenwing, to me. My mini macaw thinks he's as big as one of these, but he's no where near that big, lol.

Gorgeous parrot! My daughter had a co-op at a pet store that had a macaw. Wonderful birds. You've really coloured him wonderfully. That background is perfect for him. Lovely card!

The sentiment is perfect for your gorgeous bird. Great job coming up with this from a penguin ! Thanks for taking the time to view my gallery.

I have made hundreds of cards and so many people say it has brought joy to their lives which, in turn, brings joy to my life. Almost everyone I give them to says that they always save me, which I consider a huge compliment.
