Hey friends! I’m back with another Mix-it-up Monday post for Doodlebugs. It’s been a while and I’m happy to be back. Today I have a fun summer-themed card featuring some new and older Pretty Pink Posh and Concord & 9th goodies today.
This card started because I just had to build that awesome flamingo from Pretty Pink Posh as soon as it hit my mailbox. He hung out on my desk for about a day just being cute and eventually I figured out what I wanted to do with him.
I trimmed down a piece of yellow cardstock and inked up the Pretty Pink Posh seashells stencil using darker yellow ink and a tinge of orange on the edges for depth. Next, I cut the Concord & 9th Circle Sayings die from white and teal cardstocks.
I figured out placement of my sentiment and flamingo, then popped them up with foam tape. Before adding the whole panel to a card base, I wrapped the bottom with jute twine and tied it in a bow. Then I could carefully add foam tape to the back, avoiding the twine which helps it all lay flat.
Once that was all assembled, I added some stardust Stickles to the starfish and flamingo beak for a little sparkle. Last was a dab of glossy accents on the flamingo’s eye to help it pop too. Isn’t this just giving so much summer?!? I love it!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
