Flirty Flamingo is one of this year's new In Colors and it is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I stamped the outline of the flowers using it and found that it pairs well with Pink Pirouette for 2-Step Stamping. I used Cucumber Crush for the leaves and couldn't find another color to pair with it, so the inside of the leaves is also Cucumber Crush (I stamped it off once to give it the lighter color). I love how the Bunch of Blossoms stamp set has the coordinating Blossom Builder Punch. I stamped the leaves and stems on my 2-1/2" circle and then punched and added the flowers with a Stampin' Dimensional. The polka dot paper is from the In Color DSP stack. Banner strips are 1/2" Flirty Flamingo and 3/4" Cucumber Crush punched with the Banner Triple Punch. Finally the background is textured with the Lovely Lace embossing folder to finish it off.
Today's card was inspired by the sketch challenge over at
The Paper Players.
