Good Morning everyone.
This fantastic flamingo stamp from Katzelkraft has been on my wish list since i first saw it - one of those i had to have! Anyway stock finally arrived and she came into my hands just before lockdown.
This is essentially A5 in size but the 2 parts make it the full A5. So first i stamped my flamingo 5 times in black using my stamp platform and stamped the sentiment. I then coloured them with oxide inks, adding extra detail with fine liner pens in the same colours to their wings and headdress. I cut to size and stamped some dots around the outside edge with the same inks, rounded the corners and matted onto black.
For the base card its approx 6x6 in size. To the sections that would be seen - the top and bottom edges i added the same inks used to colour the flamingos, then i stamped just the beautiful part of the sentiment all over in grey archival ink. To finish i mounted the topper panel onto the base.
Glossy accents to their eyes and glitter highlights & a black iridescent gems to the centre of their head dress and by the sentiment to finish.
Side on - you can see how the topper panel overlaps the base card - almost like an artists easel set up. This came about as once id stamped 5 flamingos that panel was as wide as an A5 card and i wanted to add a colourful background. Unusually for me not a single die used!
