Flamingo Fun

Today Whimsy Stamps is having a slimline hop over on Instagram, I hope you will come visit and comment for your chance to win a prize.  Meanwhile, I wanted to share the card here as well... because it is just too cute!

See, I wasn't joking!  I love this set, it is just so cute!  

Here is how I made this card:  

I started by stamping the images from Flamingo Fun on Copic friendly paper.  I colored each image, added highlights with a white gel pen, and fussy cut them out.  I used the following Copics (C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, B000, B02, B05, B93, B97, BG01 Y06, Y15, Y35, YR04, YR09, YR15, YR24, E33, FYG2, YG11, YG13, RV14, RV42. R14, R32, R35, R37).  I set them aside and worked on the background.  First I created a barrier so the distress inks wouldn't go outside the area I wanted them to.  THen I divided the area in half and created a yellow sky with Lemonade and a blending brush, then I use a a wavy line stencil with Broken China and Tumbled Glass on the bottom.  I die cut the Slimline Marquee Die in a turquoise paper and mounted it on the white base.  I came back in and added some embellishments and used foam to mount the images.  It is so bright and fun!  Lastly I used a bit of orange cardstock to stamp the sentiment. 

The embellishments with the beach ball and sand-dollar are a fun touch.  It really is a happy scene that makes me smile.  

Now head on over to Instagram @ 9am PT to join us for the hop. Thank you so much for visiting!
