Happy Wednesday! Today’s project is a Flirty Flamingo thank you card, created with the Amazing Silhouettes Bundle. It has a wonderful gold tinge to it, which looks fabulous in the sunshine. This is the first of today’s posts, because the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue Retiring List is being released today at 5pm EDT. I’ll post the link to the list as soon as it’s available, and after I get home from driving kid #3 to work. Let’s have a look at our card first.
Every once in awhile I run up against a card that just doesn’t want to be photographed while laying flat on the table. I find that it’s because I have used thick cardstock, which is wonderful for the card recipient because it sits nicely on a table. The colour scheme on this card is simple: Basic White, Flirty Flamingo, and Gold. It came together because there are gold threads throughout the Flirty Flamingo Gold Metallic Ribbon.
Once I had a colour scheme, I just went with it. The image is in the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set, and stamping it in Flirty Flamingo was a no brainer. The gold/flamingo ‘thanks’ die cuts look great on the card, and I was happy to use one of the embossing folders in the Strips & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders set.
Once everything was on the card, I added three of the Gilded Gems in the corners. Gold is not generally my colour, because I love and will always choose silver, but this card works.

Thanks for stopping by today. This Flirty Flamingo card isn’t for everyone because it’s pretty bright, but you can easily recreate this with more muted colours and the Amazing Silhouettes bundle. Make sure you pop by again this evening to see the entire Retiring List, with the items that are on sale. It’s always fascinating to see what is carried over, and what is being discontinued. If you have questions or need assistance with any stamping, or papercrafting products or techniques. Call/text me at 289-928-5713 or send an email to wendy@wendyslittleinklings.com. It’s a busy spring, because I have a lot of moving parts in my family (kids moving back home, summer jobs etc.) but I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Until later, Happy Stamping!
