Kookaburrra

This little bird had stirred quite the controversy on our Stampin' Connection boards.  What is it, what color should it be?  Someone posted a picture of a Kookaburra and I agree this is it.  I tried to use Blendabilities and went a little too brown, but I love this little guy and will be trying again real soon.

Here is the real deal.....

I used a Smoky Slate card base and tried to inprint with the new Spring Flowers embossing folder inked in Smoky Slate.  The impression was not as great as I imagined, but I love it.  Just enough to give a mottled look.  My Bird is matted on Soft Sky and our new White Jute ribbon and a Basic Metal Button.  This ribbon frays beautifully and I tied a piece in the button.
