Flirting With Flamingo

Hi!

Welcome to the new Colour Creations Blog Share! This week we are creating with Flirty Flamingo.


Despite my blog post title, there are no flamingo on my card tonight. Instead I made a flirty card. 'What's a flirty card?', I hear you ask - to me it's a fun, light and airy card that isn't too serious. That's what I was aiming for with this card, and I think I've succeeded.

I started by snipping a piece from the gorgeous Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut DSp. It's from the big floral sheet. I took a really big breath before snipping - it's a bit scary!! I then used my sponge brayer to colour it with Flirty Flamingo ink

I paired the Flirty Flamingo with Soft Sea Foam. It's hard to see in the pic, but the large SSF layer under the flower is embossed with the Subtle 3DTIEF. The flower is then layered on a circle of Vellum, and on top are some cardstock circles with the sentiment from Happy Birthday Gorgeous.

Speaking of Happy Birthday Gorgeous - have you noticed that the larger two leaf stamps match the leaves in the Delightfully Detailed LCDSP? What a great find, as it helped to extend the smaller floral section I snipped from the DSP.

You can find the rest of this week's Flirty Flamingo cards over at Catherine's blog. I wonder if there'll be any flamingo amongst them?

Bye for now,

Tina

  1. Good on you snipping into that sheet! I had it out yesterday, looked at it many times and put it back, as I didn't know where to start. Lol You've done a wonderful job and give me some more confidence to get it out again. TFS

  2. Tina your coloured laser cut DSP looks amazing in Flirty Flamingo and it's so cool how the leaf stamp matches the leaves in the laser paper. Thanks for hopping along tonight!

  3. Great job on cutting into the delightfully detailed DSP. I love how vibrant it is with the flirty flamingo on the soft sea foam background and snap on the subtle embossing folder. I used it as well!

  4. I know how you feel Tina, I don't like the idea of cutting up those beautiful lace sheets. But you have done them justice I love the way your card pops.

  6. I was wondering where that gorgeous detailed flower and leaves came from - what a great idea colouring the laser cut paper. Looks lovely on the soft sea foam.
