sparkly stuff...

Hey friends!!  Happy Friday!!  Got some time on Thursday to make another card... YAY... and created this one for a few challenges:  Reverse Confetti March Sketch for You to Try, Merry Monday Christmas challenge (tropical) and Color Throwdown.   When I first saw the current Merry Monday challenge I wasn't sure I would be able to play along, but when I saw Bonnie's card using a flamingo I knew right away that I would go in the same direction and use my RC Fabulous Flamingos stamp set along with sentiment from Tinsel 'n Trim.  Using the colors from Color Throwdown made it a bit more tricky, but I think I came up with a pretty cool looking Christmas card.   I die cut and stamped the flamingo using dark pink ink and then wrapped a little bit of tinsel trim around the flamingo's neck.  The tag was die cut using the RC Tag Me die and the squares using the RC Shakers 'n Frames die set.  I had to hunt around through alots of stamp sets in order to find one that had a small Santa style hat that I could use for my flamingo, but finally came up with something.  I stamped the hat on white cardstock and then on the teal, carefully trimmed them out and then adhered the teal piece to the full hat.  I added some crystal Ice Stickles for a bit of sparkle.   I stamped the sentiment on the tag and then added the flamingo.  Layered everything up and I was done.
