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

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

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, the flamingos is one of my favourite dies and this sample is stunning, love it.

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

Morning Sue,
What a gorgeous card to wake up too. I love it. I ordered the flamingos when you showed them during your launch and can't wait to get back home where they should be waiting for me. Only 2 weeks to go! Hugs xxx Pauline

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.

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.
