Pro-Am Showdown #19 - A Small Toucan
This cards is for my self-imposed challenge , Pro-Am Showdown, where I CASE a mass-produced card to make my own, amateur version.
Here's the original, commercially-produced card:

| the professional card |
For my card I used a toucan stamp by My Favorite Things (it's the set with the girl in the grass skirt) . I masked it and stamped the circular sentiment (very old, brand unknown). I know people usually use grey markers to colour black but I wanted to mimic the sketchy look of the original and so I used a black marker in a kind of scribbly way. The leafy paper was a magazine freebie and I finished with some sequins.
By the way, when I came to cut out the mask, I struggled to find a pair of scissors to cut it - and I have several pairs. Either a craft thief broke in during the night or it's time for a tidy up!

Lovely card, a great take on the bought one. The leafy paper make a perfect border. xx
A wonderful CASEd card, Marina. Love how you added the circle sentiment around the toucan... I thought it was part of the stamp image. So great masking job. It’s an adorable card. Thank you for joining us this week at Less is More.

Your card looks just as professional as the one you CASEd Marina! The leafy paper is a perfect match but your masking to add the sentiment is the real winning thing on this card. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Less is More xx
