This great image is from a new set at Doodle Pantry called Parrot Play. I love this bird and found it fun to color it! I used my Copic markers and also a white gel pen. I highlighted parts of the green feathers with the gel pen then went back over them with my green Copic marker to tone down some of the brightness of the white. I then used a glitter pen over that. I really think it made the feathers look more realistic! I love how it turned out! I used papers from my stash, and green ribbon from Joann's. The dots on the card are from a pack that I bought at my LSS. The yellow dotted ribbon and the embossing folder that I used on my green background paper are from Paper Studio. All in all: I really am happy with the results.

Hi Georgia, this is really pretty! I love how you went back over the white gel pen so it wasn't so bold. Great thinking! I also love the sparkle. Great card!
