Good morning stampers! The sky is a tad gray outside today, but I’ve got the perfect card to brighten things up. Why you ask? Because it’s Flamingo Friday! It’s less than a month until Pop of Paradise retires, and I love stamping this bird, (well any birds actually). Flirty Flamingo is THE best colour for cards like this, and I’ve grateful that it is moving into the Brights colour collection instead of retiring.
You can stamp this flamingo in a solid colour, but I have always said that a bit of colour goes a long way. I have coloured the entire stamp with Stampin’ Write markers before, but have found that it’s hard to get the right amount of colour on the feathers. This time I inked the stamp with Flirty Flamingo, and then coloured the legs and beak with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker. It works very well with this colour scheme.
The sentiment in the background can be found in Birthday Banners, which is carrying over to the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue. It has good, versatile sentiments, with coordinating framelits and punches. I tend to frequently use the sentiment above, because it’s the perfect size for cards.
I continue to mention the Last Chance List because it is “last chance. View the all available items on the list HERE.
