Flamingo Messages

Helloooooo!!! It's a big day for me today because I'm turning 40! In honor of that, I decided to share a card I created for Stampendous that is very, very me. I love and collect flamingos, and I have always been the person that tries to stand out. So take a peek at this fun card. The full instructions are below. 

Supplies:
Stampendous:
SSC1278: Flamingo Messages Perfectly Clear Stamp Set
MPW811: Mixed Media White Paper
SSH57: Jumbo Handle

Other:
Imagine: Memento Ink: Angel Pink, Rose Bud, Tuxedo Black, Teal Zeal, Grape Jelly.
               VersaMagic: Turquoise Gem, Pretty Petunia.
Scrapbook Adhesives: EZ-Dots
Pink Cardstock


Directions:
1. On a piece of 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" Mixed Media White Cardstock, stamp the solid flamingo stamp in the center using Angel Pink Memento. Keep in mind that you need to save room for the legs.

2. Stamp the outline of the flamingo with Tuxedo Black Memento.

3. Stamp the wing and legs of the flamingo with Rose Bud Memento.

4. To the left of the pink flamingo, stamp the solid stamp with Turquoise Gem VersaMagic. It will overlap the pink a bit.

5. Stamp the outline of the flamingo with Tuxedo Black Memento.

6. Stamp the wing and legs of the flamingo with Teal Zeal Memento. 

7. To the right of the pink flamingo, stamp the solid stamp with Pretty Petunia VersaMagic. It will overlap the pink a bit.

8. Stamp the outline of the flamingo with Tuxedo Black Memento. 

9. Stamp the wing and legs of the flamingo with Grape Jelly Memento. 

10. Create the card base with pink cardstock and cut it to 4 1/4" X 11." 

11. Adhere the stamped layer with EZ-Dots. 

***Please note, a stamp postioner would be very helpful to create this card. You would be able to ensure the spacing between the flamingos was even. But, as you can see from my sample, it's not required.

Thanks so much for checking out my project today. Have an inspiring day!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...
