Hi Peeps,
I have a fun and bright card to share today. I made this using the current Just Us Girls challenge. It's color week and this week's colors are Pink and Aqua. I thought perfect for the Spellbinders Large Die set of the Month for May. With flamingos, tropical leaves and large flowers it's meant for colors like these.
I've been seeing these tunnel style cards around IG and bolg-land and while I don't have the Spellbinders dies (yet) I do have some that worked for the layout I had in mind. The background panel is ink blended into an ocean and pink sky. The foreground is made using the Spellbinders Scattered Tropics 3D embossing folder using C&9th Tidepool card stock.
After die cutting all of the pieces of the flamingo, I did a little ink blending over the wing feathers for added depth of color. After putting the card togetherr before gluing everything, I decided I wanted a shadow around the large center cutout. Using the same card stock as the leaves, I cut the same shape and placed it to create the shadow.
The inside is super simple with a Spellbinders sentiment from an older stamp set.
My friend is coming later today so we can put the binding on her quilt we've been working on for a few months. Then it will be finished, and a very nice accomplishment for her as it's her very first time sewing anything.
Enjoy your day,
Colleen
