Hello and happy Tuesday. I fell in love with these sweet die cut flamingos from PTI, and used them to create a card for the Great Cover Up Challenge to create a card with added layers. The flamingos are made by layering different die cut bits on the die cut bird base. I layered the flamingos on top of each other, and then put them atop a die cut from the Waves Cover Plate die. I am also entering this card at the Cupcake Inspirations #522: Oh Birdie and Shopping Our Stash #448: Tropical Delights.
What is more summery than ice cream? I was inspired by the Summer Theme Challenge at Inky Paws #151. How about a giant chocolate sundae? I stenciled a very pale purple bit of basket weave to ground my image and sentiment. I am also entering this card at Retro Rubber #161: Summer Treats (stamps are 3 years old), and Addicted to Stamps and More #408: Birthdays.
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteI love your flamingos! Beautiful colour choices for them, and the wave die behind them works perfectly. Your ice cream sundae looks delightful! I love how subtle you were able to keep your stencilling - mine always seems to end up darker than I plan. Thanks for adding this one to Addicted to Stamps and More!
