In conjunction with the gift that I made for sister (see tomorrow's post), I put together this card on a whim. I had seen something on a blog post somewhere (I really don't remember and can't find it) that had a flamingo and words along the lines of "tickled pink" in the sentiment.
So, off I went to Cricut Design Space. I found a flamingo cut in the freebie section (or was it something I own?), cut it and added some feathers and Glossy Accents to the beak and eye. Since I'm not too good at stamping, I thought "What the heck?" and used a thin Sharpie in the pen adapter I purchased last year from Amy Chomas' shop; I had it write onto a banner and then cut. I have a pad of paper that included a small design of flamingos that I thought would be PERFECT for this card, but the color was too dark, and the flamingo just blended into the background. Waaaahhhh!
All it needed was a few sequins and a pink star on the flamingo's chest to finish it off. Hope she enjoyed it!
YES, I did/do enjoy the card. That flamingo is such a sassy little thing and the sequins are a perfect touch, along with the feathers.
