I started by masking off a square in the upper half of my card base and then blended Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks in the square opening. Next I stamped the Flamingo from the Some Like It Hot set in black for a silhouette look. I added the smaller Hibiscus flower and also a sentiment from the Words To Live By: Smile stamp and die set.
A few sequins and some bright pink bakers twine finished off this bright and fun card. Make sure you check out Laurie's beautiful bright card and then play along right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

This is lovely Marcia! Yes, I like the hot pink and orange combo for summer too. Love that you’ve used your flamingo in silhouette form...really “pops!” Thanks for your sweet comments on my posts...I seem to get very few since the changes with PTI. ☹️
Oh how pretty!! Your flamingo looks beautiful in the 'sunset' you created in the background, Marcia :-)
Beautiful background, Marcia! Love the pink and orange. The flamingo is so pretty against the background.
