I knew I wanted to use bright colors, so I decided to try paints instead of my usual pencils. (No matter how bright or dark I think I've colored something, people always leave comments: "Love your soft colors.") I found an old set of dry watercolors (so limited I had to mix my own orange and purple). Just for fun, I flicked a contrasting color on each parrot rectangle.
Since I set the parrots to dry before assembling the card, a though occurred to me while they were drying -- why not use Glossy Accents on the eyes? It worked out brilliantly; they look like goggly eyes, only better.The parrot is from TAWS set Land Ho; the sentiment is a freebie download from their website.
The card is entered in these challenges:
