Tickled Pink Flamingo for Love to Craft Challenge #81 for July/August 2024

 

It has been another packed few months - where has the year gone! For challenge #81 for July/August 2024 of the Love to Craft Challenge Blog I wanted to showcase a card that I made by drawing inspiration from a Flamingo card workshop by La-La Land Crafts.

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:

• Flamazing Clear Stamp Set - for both the flamingo and sentiment
• Tropical Leaves Die
• Scalloped Sentiment Labels Die
• Celebrate Paper Pack

The flamingo was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with the following Copics: 

• R22, R24, R46, YR16, RV02, YR23, BG34, C9, 100, white gel pen

I fussy cut him and forgot to take a photo of him close up, so here is a photo of the flamingo close up on the card:

I adhered a piece of the Celebrate Paper Pack on to a Kraft Square card from Envelope Solutions. I then die cut the Tropical Leaves from two different green card stocks and adhered them to the front of the card. The flamingo is popped up with foam tape in front of the leaves. I stamped one of the sentiments using Nautical Blue Memento ink and my MISTI on to one of the Scalloped Sentiment Labels and then used foam tape to adhere it to the front of the card.

Here is another photo of the finished card:
