Quirky Parrot

Good Morning  -  We are celebrating over at I Love Promarkers as it is the 8th Birthday!

We also have a new challenge starting with an Anything Goes Theme sponsored by Ikes Art. I have used an image called Quirky Parrot.

All the patterned papers are from Kaisercraft Say Aloha collection. I die cut the bottom panel using a  My Favourite Things scalloped stitched edge die and layered some black ribbon behind the greeting to continue the black in the greeting panel.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the Parrot -
Soft Lime, Lime Zest, Lime Twist, Lime Green & Pear Green.
Powder Blue shading on the white areas.
Baby Pink, Cocktail Pink & Carmine
Buttercup & Canary
Cool Grey 5,4 & 3
Sandstone, Cocoa, Cinnamon & Raw Sienna.

We would love to see your creations at the challenge blog -
