Flamingo Fridays: A Pop of Paradise Hello

*originally published on 7/15/16*

You can’t possibly be sick of flamingos yet.  Are you?  Didn’t think so.  Today is the last of the original Pop of Paradise cards that I created when I first received my stamp set in May.  The layout is based on a sketch that I saw somewhere (I really need to keep track of these things), and features the Hello You Thinlits along with some Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I really adore cards where the main elements are in the corner, but I rarely create them like this, instead being hung up on the centre of the card, in the upper two thirds.  I may try and hunt down some more sketches/photos that lay out this type of design.
One more thing that I love about this card?  The bird has a black beak and black legs.  As it should be.  Flamingos are not a solid pink!  I have educated my stampers about this fact, and they are on board that these two elements need to be coloured with a Stampin’ Write marker before stamping the image onto paper.  I have awesome stampers!
