Flamingo CCC

   Hi Everyone, my one of 2 DT cards today is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter...

Looking through my stamps for an animal, I came across this Flamingo, that hasn't seen any ink and I thought it about time it did. I printed the sentiment that I had seen online onto card, then stamped and embossed in gold onto the same card. To make it more interesting, I decided to add embossing lines each side of the flamingo and use a marker in pink. What a mess I made. To save the sentiment and flamingo, I cut the card each side of the flamingo, then edged it with the same ink, and used it with the flamingo backing paper, I found in my files.

 The flower stamps were included in the stamp set, so I stamped and embossed in gold onto pink card. A completely different card to what I intended, but it turned out OK. 

I made the insert in Photoshop, adding a flamingo, again in my files and a sentiment that I thought of, because of all the pink!

All stamps - Magazine freebies, SC&P #205
ink- Distress Oxide, kitsch flamingo 
embossing powder - Altenew Vintage Gold
font - Goodies Alt2
flamingo digital paper - Sizzix
insert flamingo - Marisa Lerin Digital Scrapbook/Pixelscrapper

  Just in case you can't see it, the sentiment is in pink and says
 "We are tickled pink to wish you a happy birthday"

    I had to enlarge the photos for this card to really appreciate just how gorgeous the details are on this card. I just love all of the gold bling and the witty sentiments.

  15. What a cute card Faith and I am loving the sentiments. I don't know why, but I just love flamingo cards. I guess maybe because they remind me of summer? Who knows. But nice save with the flamingo and sentiment! Love the tropical flowers too. Hugs, Brenda

  16. So, I came here to comment on this card, and I got distracted by your "Cat loss" card and almost forgot what I was here for! This is super fun! Great image and sentiment and, of course, all the pink is fabulous!
