Flamingo Friday: This big pink bird is set for summer

Happy Friday stampers!  Today’s big pink bird is set for summer with her flip flops and straw hat.  She is a Stampin’ Up! flamingo from the long retired stamp set Tickled Pink.

Wendy's Little Inklings: Flamingo Friday - This big pink bird is set for summer

Stampin’ Blends were used to colour the bird.  It was fast and easy to add a bit of shading, with no visible lines on the image.  That’s the power of alcohol markers.  They give you just a smidge of time to work with them before they dry, so that you can blend them easily.

The Garden Trellis embossing folder on the Daffodil Delight cardstock gives us the perfect background for a summer bird.  Add in a bit of Old Olive cardstock and a sentiment from the Hanging Garden set, and you’re good to go!

You can order everything on this card – except for Tickled Pink – through my Online Store.  If your order is over $50, make sure that you add the June Host Code (NU6JEMS6).  I’ll send you 10 Project Helper Guides in early July!  They are a mix of different card making styles and can be extremely helpful when planning future projects.  Are you placing a $200+ order?  Don’t add the Host Code – choose the Stampin’ Rewards instead.  You’ll still receive the Guides.
