Monday Flamingo

Hello Stampers ~ I have a fun Monday Flamingo for you today.

I hope you had a good weekend!  They seem to go so fast lately. I spent yesterday working on a mini album I saw that I wanted to try.  I got the structure finished and I need to decorate it.  I will work on that over the next few days as I have some other things I need to work on also.  I also have some other appointments so I will be working around that.

We have a new challenge at Make My Monday.

Challenge # 49

Summer Brights
(to use bright summer colours)

We have some fun colors that were perfect for this challenge.  I immediately thought of Flirty Flamingo and Lemon Lime Twist.  I decided to use those colors along with the Pop of Paradise stamp set to create a fun card.  Bright colors pop even more when you use black so I decided that would be my card base.  I stamped the flamingo using Flirty Flamingo.  It was then cut out.  For my leaves I wanted a 2 tone look so I stamped it with Lemon Lime Twist and inked the edges with Old Olive.  These were cut out also.  The leaves were layered and then I used dimensionals ~ including the new mini dimensionals that I am in LOVE with ~ to pop up the flamingo.  It needed a sentiment so I used the one in the stamp set and then punched it out with the 1 3/8″ circle punch.  Using the 1 1/2″ circle punch, a circle of Lemon Lime Twist was punched.  The circles were layered and then added to the card with dimensionals.  Here is my completed creation.

Thanks for visiting me today and I hope I inspired you.  Do you have this set?  I would love to see what you have done with it!  Have a Marvelous Monday and was my Monday Flamingo bright enough for you?
