Christmas Flamingo for Merry Little Christmas Challenge #57 for July/August 2024

 

It has been quite a hectic few months, so for challenge #57 for July/August 2024 of the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog I chose to make a card drawing inspiration from a Flamingo card workshop by La-La Land Crafts but make it Christmassy!

Here is my card for this month:

This card uses stamps, dies and papers from La-La Land Crafts and I followed Irina's video in the Flamingo Card Class from May 2024 to both colour the flamingo and draw some inspiration to put the card together. For this particular workshop, some of the products are not even released yet! :) 
Anyway, the products are:
The flamingo and hat were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with the following Copics: 
  • flamingo - R22, R24, R46, YR16, RV02, YR23, BG34, C9, 100, white gel pen
  • hat - R22, R24, R46, YG03, G07, G29, white blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops
I fussy cut the flamingo and har and here is a photo of the flamingo close up and the hat before I added the glitter drop:
 


I adhered a piece of the Here Comes Santa Paper Pack on to a Kraft Square card from Envelope Solutions. I then die cut the Christmas tree and poinsettia from papers from Merry & Bright Paper Pack and die cut the Christmas Tree "trimmings" from gold card stock. I adhered the tree and poinsettia with Art Glitter glue, then the flamingo and hat are popped up with foam tape.

Here is another photo of the finished card:
