Good afternoon stampers! It’s Flamingo Friday, but this week’s project doesn’t have a flamingo on it. Surprised? Not as much as me, but I have something that’s almost as good. Today’s Flamingo Friday card uses one of the palm leaves from Fabulous Flamingo for its background.
The colour scheme for this card comes from another non-Stampin’ Up! card I saw on Pinterest, and I pulled similar colours together when stamping this one. Each colour was stamped separately, and I just filled in the gaps around the edge once the main stamping was finished.
All Things Thanks provides the large sentiment for the card. I send a lot of Thank You cards, and wanted something big as a focal point on the card. Think it’s big enough? Adding a smaller sentiment wouldn’t work well because of the size of the leaves, so it was go big or go home!
Don’t you just love the Granny Apple Green and Gray Granite 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon? It has a nice weight to it, is easy to tie, and sits flat when you want it to. I added two lengths under the sentiment for interest. Three Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dots finishes the card nicely. I had forgotten that I had them stashed away, and was pleased when I discovered them yesterday afternoon. You can find the entire supply list for this card below.
