Celebrate with Cake!

The 2016 May stamp of the month, Celebrate with Cake, is the ideal stamp for birthday cards! It's also a fun one for coloring. This was a relatively quick card I made with my brother's birthday in mind. I used the ShinHan markers and my old standby, foam tape, to make the card pop a little. The blue patterned paper is from the Magical paper pack.

Tickled Pink Flamingos

I tried to restrain myself when I looked through CTMH's Seasonal Expressions 2 . But when I looked at page 32 and saw the C1651 Tickled Pink stamp set with those cute flamingos AND that they also had coordinating thin cuts (Z3228), I just couldn't resist! Look at it!

So much fun! I started off by just die cutting a bunch of flamingos and wings with the Thin Cuts. Then I stamped!

It's a flamingo party!!!

I decided to make a simple card and here's what I came up with.

The polka dotted paper right behind the flamingos is from this month's gorgeous special Happy Times Paper Pack. The green polka dotted paper behind that is from the Zoe paper pack. I used Pixie and Smoothie stamp pads to stamp the flamingo bodies and wings. I used Memento Black for the beaks and legs. I usually don't hand draw but I saw a beautiful flamingo card online made by fellow consultant Susan Williams where she had outlined her text boxes so I decided to challenge myself and try it out. Let me know what you think!
