Week 17 Colour Creations Blog - Hop Flirty Flamingo

 

Welcome to week 17 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are creating with Flirty Flamingo. This really isn't one of my favourite colours and I really do struggle to get any ideas with it. So I went through my tutorials and I thought this one will make a really stunning card and it did. (If I do say so myself) toot toot.

It's called a Front Fan Fold card and it's really easy to do. I also used the Sale-A-Bration DSP called Beautifully Penned. I used my blends to colour the flowers on the DSP and on the stamped images on the front of the card and then die cut out 2 flowers from the Hand Penned Bundle to place in the middle of the fan. The butterfly is from the Butterfly Brillance dies and my Basic pearl I colour Flirty Flamingo. This card will need a box to send it in as it stills up about 1/2 inch (1.3cm)  so you wouldn't want to squash it.


I stamped the inside of my card and coloured the flowers again, I allowed a large boarder around my card to really bring out the Flirty Flamingo. I didn't put a sentiment on the front of the card as I thought the inside words say it all.

All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue and the August - September Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. If you would like more information on this project or the items used please give me a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you.

  1. What a beautiful card Di! I haven’t seen this fun fold and agree it showcases Flirty Flamingo beautifully with this DSP. The gold butterfly adds an elegant touch. Love the inside of your card with the wider border.
