When I saw the picture in the first VSN challenge, my first thought was the bouncing brayer technique but I don't have the right Kaleidacolor pad for that. Then Amber said that the dress had feathers on it which reminded me of Just Beakause, one of those sets I had to have at the last minute when it retired and then Never Used. So now it's been used!
First of all, I was inspired by the feathers on the dress to think birds (thanks to Amber who said feathers in the first place), and I tried to incorporate the bright colors with the bit of black to make them pop on my card. I picked red as my primary color and wanted to go with Yoyo Yellow but I don't have any YY patterned paper, so it got switched out for Apricot Appeal instead. I was listening to Disney tunes while I made this card and the Tiki Room song came on, have you ever been to the tiki room at Disneyland? That's what this stamp set reminds me of.

Definitely the Tiki Song, Christie and it's just around the corner from Harrrrr, Pirates of the Carribean. Brilliant to use the toucan! Great job. Thanks for playing with us this weekend.
