2) Pelican (looks like a flying dinosaur so that's cool)
3) Dodo (Extinct but still cool)
4) Road Runner (funny and I love cartoons too lol)
5) Humming birds (they are soooo small)

For the back ground I use a stencil and gesso, next painted over it using the violet and mauve.

Then I stamped over the paint and protected it using a layer of matte varnish

The digital stamp was colored using pencisl, cut out and decoupaged on the tag

Fist I gessoed the tag and painted it Lavender, next used the stencil to make the dots.
Stamped the stamp on paper using Archival ink andcoloured it  using pencils, next cut it out.
(stamp it on the tag to get the whiskers on there so you don;t have to cut those out)

Use the Toxic stamp with archival blue ink on the tag (the scratches looked like there had been a cat fight in my mind)

adhere the image to the tag using matte medium.

next stamp the sentiment using alphabet stamps, and to finish add a ribbon to the tag and a little bow to the duck's neck.
