Good Morning everyone.
Today is a birthday card i made for a friend who usually enjoys a few hot sunshine holidays a year but hasn't for a wee while now so i decided to make her a sunny holiday vibe birthday card. Maybe the sun will come out for her birthday today🌞
7x7" white scalloped card blank. I die cut the top layer of the tropical wreath from white card and the base layer from a background made with brushos. I used a craft knife and cut out the middle of the wreath, i added foam tape to the wreath and attached to the card base adding a scrap of blue paper behind the aperture to act as the sky or water. I found a piece of paper that had a sunshine vibe in my stash stamped the greeting and added to my base, i had 2 little off cuts of the green card that i added under this paper just to pick up on the green and tie it together. A few extra die cut leaves added with glue gel for dimension.
I stamped the flamingo's onto scraps of patterned papers and white paper. I cut out the head from the white after colouring with alcohol markers and glued that onto the paper version. I then added them into the aperture of the wreath, using the foam tape meant i could easily get their legs behind the frame.
Just a close up - it seems my flamingo's have had one too many pina colada's🍸 as they aren't quite upright😁
Items Used:
Katzelkraft flamingo stamp
Stampin up sassy salutations stamp
Tonic wreath die 'tropical fiesta frame'
Brusho's
Patterned papers -the works
CraftUK ltd 7x7 scalloped card blank
