Welcome to Colour Creations Blog Hop for Flirty Flamingo week of 2024-25!

This week I wanted to go simple as I have a migraine so my brain was not up to thinking too much so I went to the Annual Catalogue and CASED the catty! (Page 46) This is the wonderful thing about the Stampin' Up! catalogue and the mini catty they have wonderful ideas and templates that you can use to give you ides and use to spark your own creativity or copy and put your own twist on it yourself! Same with your Stampin' Up Demonstrator and the Art With Heart team we are here to give you all the inspiration for when you are crafting at home.

For my card today I am using the wonderful Thoughtful Wishes bundle. I love this stamp set and dies combo. I have started with a Flirty Flamingo card base and added a piece of Thoughtful Journey DSP before adding a piece of Basic White card that has been dry embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder.

For the decoration on the front of the card I have used a piece of the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and using the Water Painters I have done a simple water wash with the Flirty Flamingo, let it dry die cut it with the Nested Essential Dies and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso. I cut out 2 of the leaf dies to put behind the center focal point and along with the main leaf on one of them I added a little colour. To add this colour I used the water colour pencils in Old Olive and Flirty Flamingo and used the Blender pen to blend the colour. On the front leaf I made it darker and a lot more subtle on the leaf in the background. To finish off I had to add some bling and I used the Smokey Slate Pearls!

If you have any questions or would like to get your hands on this wonderful stamp set please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Beautiful, subtle card Sharon, the Flirty Flamingo piece behind the foliage stamp is a great focal point

    Oh lovely, I think you needed to send this card to yourself, hope you are feeling better now. The watercolour wash label is so pretty against the birch white panel and lovely layers.
