Hey, friends, just popping in with a quick post. I made a fun birthday card with my new Inner Flamingo stamp and die set from Ellen Hutson and thought I'd share it over at The Paper Players, where they have a very fun Tic-Tac-Toe challenge going on.
I ended up going across the top row - flowers, green and embossing.
I'm also sharing this over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme this week is Summer.
I totally love these cute flamingos! I did some very basic Copic coloring of them, along with the drink glasses and party hat. A gold gel pen was used to color in the spots on the hats as well as the birthday girl's crown. The leaves and flowers are also by EH, from their Tropical Foliage stamp and die set, and were stamped using a few Simon Says Stamp ink pads.
Because I wanted to make this a little tropical party scene, the card base ended up being 5x7". I trimmed down a separate panel slightly smaller than the base, lightly ink blended it with Concord & 9th Aqua Sky, then adhered it to the base. After gold heat embossing the sentiment (which totally tickles my punny sense of humor!), the strip of paper was added to the panel with foam tape, then all the other elements were adhered. The flamingos were layered on two additional die cuts to give them some dimension. I want to give credit to the card samples at EH (by Julie Ebersol?), which is where I got the idea for the placement of the drinks. So clever and fun!
Lastly, I added Glossy Accents to the glasses, the gold spots on the party hats and the crown, and used gold glitter gems for the flower centers.
Thanks for taking time to stop by. Take care!
Stef

Stef, those partying flamingos are wonderful! I'm trying to figure out what they would be drinking in those martini glasses that is green, but I want me some of that stuff! Great card for our challenge at The Paper Players.
Xoxo, Fran
