I'm Tickled Pink For You

Hello guys!  I'm switching gears and showing off the  Tickled Pink flamingo set for today's offering.  I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the Rose Bed embossing folder (kind of in love with that one!)  Next I cut two large circle framers using the Double Stitched Circles and added a white card backing to them.  I used mounting foam to add them to the background in opposite corners. Using the Tickled Pink set,  I cut three flamingos in pink card and used a marker to colour their bills black.  I also used a white pencil to add some highlights to the wings.  I put two in the lower circle with their necks wrapped )I like that it formed a nice heart shape!)  The top circle was for the one with the bent neck.  I added several of the small hibiscus as accents and also used the leaves from the Tropical Flora die set.  I cut the sentiment in pink and added a black offset as an accents behind it and glued it in to the lower corner.  the card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now Sue x

  1. Hi Sue good morning. What a bright and happy sample you've given us, there's something about your flamingos that makes me long for warmer weather I have NO idea why as there's absolutely nothing tropical about Lancashire lol. It's a beautiful collection but unfortunately it's not one I could put to good use on a regular basis. Hope it's warmer where you are so enjoy your day xxx

  18. I really appreciate your party craft tutorial. I've purchased several for a card for my wife but was intimidated by the matching process. Maybe I'll purchase a card and gift her birthday.

  40. I had to smile with your greeting today of "hello guys". This is the first time of "hearing" you with a connection to California. Up until today, I have not been able to connect your speech with the California colloquialism. Uhmmm, I should get to your wonderful and colorful design. Geat composion of using your new dies Topical Flora and Tickled Pink. Nicely done.
