Hello Sunshine

Good Sunday morning all!  It's a fun sort of card for today's offering!  I started with a piece of white card and added a wide strip of some pink and white striped paper (from my stash) down the middle of it.  I cut the sun from the Rain Or Shine set in bright yellow card and glued it in the upper corner.  I cut the Hello Sunshine sentiment from the same yellow card.  Next, I created a Decorative Flag with both ends having the V cut.  I did this by cutting the V cut end of the die first, and not going over the entire die in the machine, then flipping it around and lining up the cut out squares on the edges in the die, then cutting the other end.  I glued the sentiment to the flag then added it with a bow in the centre of it (added mounting foam to keep it raised there, then glued the two ends to the card).  From the Tickled Pink die set, I cut three flamingos out of bright pink card and added their wings.  I used a black sharpie and coloured their beaks then added them to the card with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finoished dimensions are 7"  x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue from a cold damp blustery Lancashire, totally different from last week's excessive uncomfortable heat when today's inspiration would have fit in nicely with its holiday feel and summer candy stripes. Flamingos are so pretty and having watched wildlife programs above them they are so funny during 'certain' times, so all in all a lovely way to start a dull English day.

To our friends in Florida please stay safe, every life is precious.
To all our friends, it's the perfect weather for Pixie powder and cling film backgrounds so have a fun day staying safe and sensible.
KEEP SAFE KEEP CARING KEEP CRAFTING xxx 💖

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, now this is a beautiful sample to greet us on this very sunny Sunday morning her in Kent, UK. I absolutely love flamingos, I think it is amazing that the food they eat is what makes the pinkness of their feathers, how amazing is mother nature. A beautiful samples, thank you for sharing.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good Morning Sue.
Actually it's not a good day at all, It's pouring down and so windy that the flowers are losing their heads. (Maybe I should go back to bed)
Any way Sue,your card for the day is certainly summery and the Flamingos are standing proudly in the sunshine.
Thank you Sue
Marie P.

STAY SAFE STAY ALERT

Hi Sue and everyone, I see lots of you are in the UK with this awful blustery weather. The only joy I take from it is that I can stay in and craft lol. Great card today with the pop of pink and yellow. These flamingos are adorable and lots of fun. Hope the weather is better for you Sue and anyone else not in the UK. Happy crafting everyone hugs Donna x
