Toucan Tag

The challenge on Everybody Art Challenge you have to make a tag and we're being sponsored by Paper Shelter and even though we had some gorgeous digis to choose from I had to buy this toucan. My Hubby loves his Guinness and so does BIL, you might be saying whats that got to do with a toucan. But many years ago the Guinness adverts included a Toucan and for that reason I had to have him.
I also made the tag and put it on a card otherwise the tag just wouldn't get used. The papers are Echo Park My Boy and I've used Martha Stewart zig zag punch and the embossing folder on the tag is from Stampin Up.
Do check out the team, there some gorgeous creations and we would love for you to join us.
