Shelled Vellum

The vellum really pops against this Real Red background. I decided to color only the small shells and the long seagrass. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Friendly Flamingo

Paper:

   Purple Posy A-2

   Real Red 5-1/4 x 4

   Vellum 6-1/2 x 5

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4, 1/2 x 2-1/2

Ink:

   Cinnamon Cider

Markers:

   Purple Posy

   Cinnamon Cider

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

   Punching

Accessories:

   Seashells 3D Embossing Folder

   Seaside Seashells Dies

   Banner Punch

   Bone Folder

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I took my vellum panel and dry embossed it, using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I then used the Seaside Seashells Dies and die cut it.

I flipped it over and colored in the small shells and seagrass using Purple Posy and Cinnamon Cider markers.

I adhered it to the Real Red panel, using glue dots.

This panel was then adhered to the Purple Posy card front.

I stamped my sentiment using Cinnamon Cider on the 1/2 x 2-1/2 inch basic white tag. 

I punched the ends using a Banner Punch. 

It is difficult to see, but I then took my bone folder and curled the tag under "Birthday," and over "Happy." This was also attached using glue dots.

Lastly, I adhered the 5-1/4 x 4" basic white panel to the inside of the card.

 If you like flamingos you need to get this stamp set. Let your creative juices flow. The stamp combinations are endless. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Friendly Flamingo

Paper:

   Seaside Spray A-2

   Night of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8 or

     Rococo Rose 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 3-1/4 x 4

   Rococo Rose

   Seaside Spray

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Flamingo Dies

   Black Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and die cut my flamingo and one of the tall vines on the 3-1/4 x 4 basic white panel. I used a couple of washi tape strips to keep the dies in place.

Next, I stamped the grasses surrounded by water on the bottom of a 5-1/4 x 4" basic white panel. I used Seaside Spray ink.

Then I stamped the tall vines using Night of Navy ink. I also stamped the sentiment on the top left of the panel.

I then adhered this panel onto a Night of Navy or Rococo Rose matte. This was then adhered to a Seaside Spray card front.

Lastly, I attached the die cuts (flamingo & tall vine) using dimensionals. Note that I added a black rhinestone jewel as an eye on the flamingo. The other basic white panel was added to the inside of the card. Here is a closer look at each of the cards.

Once I took these pictures, I decided to add the black rhinestone jewel for an eye. In the future, I might also stamp-off the flamingo once to lighten it up. What do you think?

First, I stamped and die cut my flamingo. I used Gorgeous Grape ink on Purple Posy paper.

I then adhered the Artistry Blooms DSP onto the Very Vanilla card base.

I layered the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut DSP on the top part of the card. 

I stamped the sentiment on the bottom right of the card. A Stamparatus, MISTI, or Stamp-a-ma-jig helps with precise stamping. 

I then attached the flamingo using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a couple of gems to draw attention to the sentiment.
