Hey there! After the long July 4th weekend I'm working hard to get back on a working summer schedule!
I played with Fabulous Flamingo stamps, using Glossy card stock (yes, it's back!) and the new Marbled Background to create a flock of cards!
Everything is stamped on glossy with different color backgrounds. The flamingo is a three-step set of stamps. I stamped the body and legs with Powder Pink, the solid body with stamped-off Flirty Flamingo, and body detail with full-strength Flirty Flamingo.
Tempting Turquoise for this card base and the Marbled background. Lemon Lime Twist-stamped leaves. I used Flirty Flamingo card stock for the layers on all for continuity, and it made it easier to quickly put together 7 cards!
This one has a Soft Sky card base with the Marbled stamped with Soft Sky. Leaves are Pear Pizzazz.
TIP: I experimented with Basic Black Archival and Memento Black ink to see which worked best on Glossy . The Memento ink didn't want to dry at all. It takes awhile for the Basic Black Archival to completely dry, but it started out drier and was less smudge-y. Be careful stamping with any ink on glossy; it's easy to slide your stamp on the slick surface, but oh I LOVE the brilliance of the colors!
While the blue Marbled backgrounds remind me of swirling water, this Pear Pizzazz Marbled makes me think of lush foliage!
The first color I tried was Pool Party. It think it's still my favorite!
After stamping all three layers of the flamingo, the only thing I added was a dot for his eye with my black Journaling Pen.
Every flamingo needs a bit of bling, so I added three little rhinestones in the bottom corner. Perfect!
