Come see how to make a handmade tropical bird card with bright pink flowers and lush green leaves.

This bright and colorful handmade card features a striking tropical scene with a black-and-white toucan nestled among green leaves and bright pink flowers. I layered die cuts in bold yellow, pink, and green to create interest and dimension, framed by a scalloped pink border on a sunny yellow card base. I used the Brass and Bliss Tropical Birds and Leaves, Build a Bloom Clematis, Inside Scallop Frame and Nested Scallop Oval for this project.

Here’s a quick step-by-step outline for making this tropical bird card:

Card Base – Cut and fold a bright yellow card base.
Die-cut a pink scalloped frame and adhere it to the card front using mounting tape.
Layer a white scalloped oval inside the frame for the focal background.
Cut the toucan, tropical leaves, and flowers from colored cardstock.
Layer and glue the black, white, and yellow pieces to form the bird and attach to the base..
Tuck the leaves and flowers around the toucan, using foam tape for dimension.
Add small pink flowers and yellow centers for extra pops of color.
