Fla La La Mingos...

 Happy Sunday! I am hoping to do basically nothing today. LOL  I have a busy week coming up - Water Country trip with my daughter and the 3 girls on Tuesday, doctor appointments on Wednesday, and then a 3-day camping trip for hubby and me to Bar Harbor, Maine. I'm looking forward to it - we always have fun when we camp (we have an RV, I'm no tent camper - hee hee), we play pitch and cook on the grill and go exploring local breweries and disc golf courses. I'm very thankful to have a hubby I enjoy spending time with!

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Cute Critters

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Stitch It

Color Dare #660

I had SO much fun making this card - I used the ink smooshing technique and built up several layers of the orange and 2 shades of pink. I often will do this on a large piece of watercolor paper, typically 6x9, then I cut in half so the card measures 4.5x6 - I can then use the second piece for die cutting or stamping on, etc. That's what I did here - so I stamped the flamingos from the Fla La La Mingo set at Paperie Ink and fussy cut them, and added some extra ink with Copics to them before attaching them with foam dimensional tape. I die cut the inner panel with a stitched edge rectangle, stamped the surfboard and sentiment (everything is stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder) directly on that, sponged the edges, and attached to the 2nd background piece. Peace.
