Animal Theme Week: Day 2

**All items in the critter section are 15% off during theme week**

Hi friends, this is Debbie! Today I am sharing the adorable Flamingos from Tropical Birds stamp set. Knowing that I was going with pinks, I just had to also use teals just such a magical color palette.

1. Starting off with Layered Leaves and Flowers Stencil. Add Layer A over a panel measuring 4.25 X 5. 5 inches vertical onto a grip mat. Ink blend on Simon Says Pawsitively ink- Tidepool and Tropic into the centers for some depth.

2. Align up Layer B the flowers and ink blend on SSS Bubblegum. Remove and then line up Layer C. Blend on SSS Sweets to the flower centers and Taffy to the remaining dots.

3. Stamp out your images onto X-Press It smooth white Card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in a Misti.

COPICS
Flamingo: RV66, RV55, RV63, RV52
Beak: N5,N3,C0,RV11
Palm: BG49,BG13, BG34, BG32
Trunk: E47,E44,E43, E42

4. Cut out the images with the Tropical Birds Coordinating Dies and attach to the Eyelet Oval Dies cut out the largest from white card stock. 

5. Also die cut the previously released Stitched Leafy Borders die from teal card stock.

6. Trim your floral panel trim it down to 2 inches, vertical. Then align the Stitched Leafy Border die over by about 1/2 inch. This will give a nice well for the Leafy border to snug right it there, keeping the layers flush.

7. Adhere the panel to a Standard A2 Portrait side fold card base. Add the Stitched Leafy Border die cut, next the oval die cut and the palm tree with liquid glue. Add 3D foam squares to the back of the images and attach.

8. Final touches are adding white highlights and Valentine Confetti Mix for embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the card. Join us tomorrow for another day of inspiration!
