This week’s challenge was the perfect excuse for me to get inky with some gorgeous distress inks and the FANTASTIC new Flamingo dies from My Favourite Things.  I just love these flamingos – I have a real thing for them (and so does my daughter Olivia – she’s obsessed!).  I love this Vine stencil from The Crafter’s Workshop, I’ve used it many times and thought it would make the perfect backdrop for my birds.  I blended some Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass distress inks onto my card front panel with a mini ink blending tool keeping it heavier at the bottom and fading towards the top and stamped the sentiment from the co-coordinating MFT stamp set, Tickled Pink in Versafine black Onyx ink.  Once that was done I sprinkled a little Sea Foam mist from Heidi Swapp to give a little texture and shimmer.  The flamingos were cut from a couple of shades of pink cardstock and I added a little shading to the wing with a Copic marker and finished with some Wink of Stella clear .  For a wee bit more interest I added a panel of vellum between the card base (a Sea Glass notecard from the Carribean Collenction by Avery Elle – don’t know what I did before these!!) and my card is done!!

I picked up the Raindrops stencil from Memory Box to use on my card this week – I love how versatile stencils are!  I placed it over my white card panel and then used white embossing paste over a section of it.  Before it dried I added some aqua coloured fine glitter for some bling!  I stamped and die cut the bear and umbrella from the Simon Says Stamp Abby’s Flowers stamp set.  and coloured them with Copics.  I also die cut the puddle from the co-ordinating die collection from some Stick It and adhered it to the design and added some glitter to that too!  I mounted my panel on to a Kraft card base from Avery Elle and finished with the Happy Spring sentiment!
