A Toucan of My Love

Hi all, just look at this Toucan isn't he just cheeky looking, I got this as one of my prizes from Doodle Palace, pop over and see what fantastic doodles Dee and Robin have in their store, when I saw him, just had to have him, hubby loves Toucans. The challenge was pet themed, flowers, glitter, hearts and rhinestones for a Valentine, just realised when loading pictures no glitter, sorry! I have taken the pet theme to mean animal/bird, so hope thats o.k. Not to sure on my colouring of the Toucan not an easy task.

Here's a close up I have used special effects on his eye and upper beak, didn't have too many heart and flower rhinestones so used what I had and then made up with the other flowers (don't what they are called, just in my stash, I used 3d kindyglitz for the centre of the flowers and managed to smudge one! Don't think hubby will notice. Used green fluffy ribbon for the handle and threaded red hearts on and made the sentiment. Then filled with hubbies fav treat Raffaello (he calls them coconut jobbies) bit like ferrero rochers but, white chocolate and coconut. Don't know what to call the goodie holder just made it up by wrapping dsp around a square base. Tried to create a rainforest background and the flowers are imitation orchids LOL!
