WE FLAMIN-GO TOGETHER (2)

I wanted to make another pop-up card. This time using the Flamingo Together stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I decided to create the pop-up scene first. I die cut the pop-up hills, with the Stitched Hillside Pop-Up, from kraft cardstock. For the cardbase, I used Distress Ink and my mini Ink Blending Tool to give it some color. For the water at the bottom I used Cracked Pistachio. For the sky I wanted to create a sunset. I used Abandoned Coral, Wild honey and Squeezed Lemonade. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom and added the pop-up to the cardbase.

I die cut the sun, from the Sun and Moon die set from lawn Fawn. I added it to the sky of the card.

I stamped the two flamingos. I also stamped the big palm tree a couple of times. I used Doe Ink and Freshly Cut Grass Ink (both from Lawn Fawn) for this. The flamingos I colored with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Flamingos: RV21 – RV23
Beaks: W5 – W7

I fussy cut the flamingos and palm trees and adhered them to the pop-up.

WE FLAMIN-GO TOGETHER (1)

For the Lawnscaping Challenge, I needed to create a card with some kind of distressing or distress products on it. Luckily for me my Distress Inks are some of my most beloved supplies.

I started by the background. I used two different Distress Ink colors: Wild Honey and Worn Lipstick. I applied it onto the watercolor cardstock with my mini ink blending tool. When it was blended the way I wanted it, I took my mini mister and sprayed some water onto the paper. I dabbed off the droplets with a paper towel. This is one of my favorite techniques.

I set the background aside, to let it completely dry. I stamped the two flamingos onto white cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Flamingos: RV21 – RV23 – RV13
Beeks: W5 – W7

The palm trees I stamped with two Lawn Fawn inks:
Tree trunks: Doe Ink (Lawn Fawn)
Leaves: Noble Fir Ink (Lawn Fawn)

I fussy cut the images out. I also die cut three heart with the Heart Dies from Lawn Fawn. I wanted them slightly darker then the background and I used Fired Brick Distress Ink to give them some color. I also added some water droplets to the hearts.

I assembled the card. I adhered all the images and heart onto the card with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black Ink and added the panel to a black cardbase. As a finishing touch I added some glitter to the hearts with the Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen.
