For my card, I was inspired by this wonderful flamingo image and knew it needed a bright, cheerful setting. I pulled out this cute Heartfelt Creations stamp, colored it with Copics, and die cut it to give it a clean, finished look.
From there, I dug into the stack of papers I’m trying to use up and found a couple of fun, vibrant patterns that felt perfect for the playful feel of the image. I added coordinating layering papers behind each piece to give everything a bit more definition.
To tie the design together, I stamped the birthday sentiment in pink to echo the pinks in the papers, then popped the flamingo up on dimensionals to make it stand out on the panel. A few gold mirror candy dots add just the right touch of shine to finish the card.
