Okay, so I'm walking through the rain forest after the rain has stopped. I almost hit my head on this sagging branch. Much to my surprise it isn't the wet leaves making it sag, but a very chubby parrot looking bird. Only on a Tuesday could this be happening.....confused.....go here for the story......now onto my card....
The chubby faux parrot is compliments of Whipper Snapper. Don't they just have the cutest stamps ever?! He was stamped, clear ep and colored with re-inkers then cut out.
The trunk of the tree was drawn by Mutnik, the leaves are from SU-botanical bloom a two step kind of thing. These both were colored with prisma pencils and gamsol.
That beautiful rainbow you see was painted on vellum, then cut out. The clouds are a die cut from MFT.
The hills and delicious looking carrots, which means I will be coming in the backdoor...again, are drawn by Mutnik, colored with prisma pencils and gamsol.
Well, they said to bring color. Hopefully I achieved that part. hehe.......TFL :0) I am off to see DD up camping at Collins Lake. Whoo Hoo! Will return later and will try to catch up on what's going on in Teapot Tuesday Land. hehe
Hi Sis! Hi NC Sis!

The moment I saw this card post I started laughing . . . then I read your story about walking through the rain forest and it set me off again. This is one big and colorful guy! Reminds me of the joke - what does the 500 lb canary say? "Here Kitty, kitty, kitty". What a fun card (and hey - some needed to bring some carrots for Starlet)!

I don't know what happens when half your images let you in the front door and then those pesky carrots have you skulking through the back door. I'm thinking that means you qualify to crawl through a window on the side of the house!
