Flamingo Fridays: Simple is Sometimes Best

*originally posted on 7/22/16*

Clean and Simple cards hold a lot of ‘wow’ for some people.  They have minimal visual distractions, and are generally easy to create.  For this edition of Flamingo Fridays, I have a card that uses 4 different inks, 3 stamps, and one half of an 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.

The wonderful flamingo in Pop of Paradise (141581) is stamped three times, using Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride.  I didn’t use a Stampin’-ma-jig for this, preferring to eyeball it, and they were pretty easy to line up.  A sentiment was added using the Endless Birthday Wishes (140273) stamp set.  I’m still low on current sentiment stamp sets (everything else I own is retired!!), so I went with something that would fit the card size-wise.
Someone’s getting this one in the mail… once I get tired of seeing it on my shelf.  It could be awhile!  If you haven’t ordered this set yet, it needs to be on your “must have” list – and not for the flamingos!  Place a $60 order before July 31st and receive a $6 virtual coupon to use in August!  Which you can use to get more stamps.  A win for everyone!
Happy Flamingoing!
