Flamingo Friend

Hi everyone - I'm here with a card using May Spellbinders for the June We Love Stamping Challenge where they're celebrating 15 years - congrats!! The theme is Fabulous Florals or Anything Goes.

Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio A2 card; DCWV striped;

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; scrap of navy striped

Stamps with Dies - Spellbinders Let's Get Together (dies HERE)

Other - Copic Markers;

Creative Expression Wordies - Friendship

My crafty friend Hilary (Fiddling About) inspired me to enter this challenge with her fabulous set using a turnabout stamp. I didn't have any turnabouts with me but I did have my May Spellbinders box that included the gorgeous flamingo stamp set. The die just cuts the right outline so I decided to give the front a shaped edge. The narrow striped paper is on the inside of the card as is the sentiment. 

To make the card, I simply trimmed the front of a prefab A2 card down to 1.25". The white A2 panel on which I stamped the flamingo had a 1.25" strip of white left which I covered with a scrap of navy/white striped paper from the snippets bin. Colored the flamingo scene with Copic markers - quick and easy. Isn't the little parrot among the leaves the sweetest? I googled parrot images and found a cutie to replicate.

My card has a couple of flowers on it but the eye goes to the flamingo so I guess I'll claim the WLS theme of Anything Goes... I'll also add my flamingo to Darnell's June NBUS Challenge #63 since that stamp with the die got first play today.

That's it for today friends. I'll have my normal post for Die Cut Divas tomorrow so I hope you'll stop back! Thanks for visiting!!
