CCMC351 Flamingo Lingo

It’s Thursday and time for a Create with Connie and Mary Challenge!  It’s a fun sketch!  Grab your stamps and play along!

Have you purchased the Ronald McDonald House Charities set this year yet?  It will soon be retired!  Stampin’ Up! donates $3 to RMHC for every set sold.  This year’s is especially cute!  All the images on my card came from this set.

 

Here’s my card.  I used two of the retiring In Colors, too…better grab your refills and extra cardstock or accessories while you can!

 

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Coastal Cabana, folded in half.
• The Basic Gray layer is 4 x 5-1/4.
• Placed along the left side of the 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Whisper White is a 1-1/4 x 5 strip of the Strawberry Slush geometric lines from Confetti Celebrations.  On top is a coordinating diagonal piece of the polka dots pattern, then a 1/4″ strip of the gray design, based on the sketch.
• On the right side, the flamingo from Flamingo Lingo was inked with Strawberry Slush Ink, then the legs colored with the Basic Gray Marker, then stamped.
• Happy Day was stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink on Coastal Cabana and cut out (or use the banner framelits) and popped up across the legs.
• The flower in Flamingo Lingo was stamped three times with Crushed Curry ink on Whisper White, then punched with the Petite Petals punch.
• Bright pink Candy Dots were placed in the centers and then popped up on the front of the card.
• The eye was colored with a Basic Black Marker, and the ground was colored with the Sahara Sand Marker.
