Gladys and her cousins

One of the new colorize dies from Tim Holtz is Gladys the flamingo. 
I’ve had a lot of fun with this one.

I colored watercolor paper with different colors and cut out the different shapes to make Gladys. Also added some feathers and glitter. 

For the backgrounds I used mixed media paper, distress ink, crackle paste, embossing glaze, a stencil and stamps.

Used almost all the green colores of distress ink to make a bunch of leaves.
And finally added some flowers for that tropical vibe.
